Caslino d'Erba, on the Lambro above Erba

Caslino d'Erba lies in the Lambro valley, just north of Erba, where the river leaves the mountains of the Triangolo Lariano and heads down into Brianza. The village takes up the valley floor and the lower slopes, with houses grouped along the road and a few clusters higher up among woods and meadows.

It suits people who want to be close to Erba and the services of the Como side of Brianza without living among industrial sheds. For work and secondary schools the reference is Erba, then Como and Lecco by car. On the valley floor, check the distance from the Lambro and from the side streams; on the slopes, look at gradient, access and retaining walls.

There are 1,667 residents (2023), a slight fall of 1.5% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 46.3 is in line with the province of Como (46.3), and over-65s make up 23.7%. Foreign residents are 8.6% and households average 2.15 people.

All 147 municipalities in the province of Como are in seismic zone 4, the lowest class: expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.045 g. More important than earthquakes are the condition of the building, the damp typical of valley-floor houses and heating costs in climate zone E.

The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps. The report finds the land parcel from the address and checks the official flood maps along the Lambro and the landslide maps on the slopes for that point.
