Cassano d'Adda, on the river at the Bergamo border

Cross the river at Cassano d'Adda and you are in the province of Bergamo: this is the easternmost municipality of the Milan metropolitan area, with the Adda as the boundary, and this is where the Muzza canal begins, carrying river water south towards Lodi. The old centre, with Villa Borromeo and the Visconti castle on the riverbank, sits alongside the hamlet of Groppello and newer districts.

For commuters, the Milan to Venice railway is the big advantage: 3 train lines call at the station, including the suburban service into Milan. By car there are the Rivoltana road and the BreBeMi motorway. Buyers find houses in the old centre, flats and detached homes in the surrounding districts, and farmhouses in the countryside.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 19,459 residents in 2023, up 4.9% on 2011. The average age (45.7) is close to the metropolitan figure, foreign residents make up 14.4%, and declared incomes are below the Milan average, which the city itself pushes up.

The river gives the town a lot of green space: 7 parks and green areas and 23 sports facilities, both above the provincial rate per resident.

On earthquakes, Cassano is an exception in the Milan area, where 73 of 133 municipalities are in zone 4: here the zone is 3, though expected ground acceleration stays low, about 0.087 g. The Adda matters more. Low areas along the river and canals can flood when the water is high, and the report checks the official maps to see whether the address is in a hazard area; using the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps, it also finds the plot.
