Cassina Rizzardi, a residential village between Como and Brianza

Cassina Rizzardi is a small municipality on the plain and first low hills south of Como, in the densely built area that stretches towards Milan. The landscape is that of built-up Lombardy: houses, roads, workshops and a few patches of fields and woodland between one village and the next. About a quarter of the municipal area is covered by buildings and infrastructure, a high figure but typical of this belt.

The village is mainly residential. People who live here often work in Como, in neighbouring towns or around Milan, and drive on provincial roads and the motorway linking Milan and Como. No public transport stops appear in the open timetables within the municipality, so it is worth checking the distance to the nearest station, which the report calculates from the address. Homes are mostly detached and semi-detached houses and small blocks of flats, with little historic centre.

In 2023 there were 3,296 residents, up 3.8% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 45.1, just below the provincial 46.3, and over-65s make up 22.0%. Foreign residents are 5.3%. Declared incomes are well above the average for the province of Como.

Earthquake hazard is at the bottom of the scale: all 147 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 4 of the Civil Protection classification, with an expected acceleration of about 0.040 g. For a house from the seventies or eighties, energy rating, roof and systems matter more. Cadastral maps are published and the report finds the parcel from the address.

Key points

  • Residential village south of Como, towards the Milan area.

Overview

Cassina Rizzardi is a municipality in the province of Como, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 3,296 residents, ranked 55 of 147 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Cassina Rizzardi is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 147 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
