Castel Rozzone, the Bergamo plain next to Treviglio

Treviglio is right on the doorstep. Castel Rozzone lies on the low plain of the province of Bergamo, next to the town, and for many residents Treviglio is where they catch the train to Milan or Bergamo. The municipality has no station of its own, but the Treviglio rail hub is a few minutes away by car or bike. Bergamo is about half an hour.

The territory is small and heavily built up: much of it is covered by houses, roads and industrial buildings, and the remaining fields are on the edges. For buyers this mostly means detached and semi-detached houses and small blocks of flats from recent decades, with a few farm courtyards in the old core. Check the distance from heavy traffic routes and industrial areas, as well as the official flood maps, which the report reads for the address.

There are 2,786 residents (2023), down 3.8% since 2011. The average age is 45.3, almost the same as the provincial average of 45.2, households have 2.38 members on average and foreign residents make up 7.4%. Declared incomes are slightly below the average for the province of Bergamo.

Castel Rozzone is in seismic zone 3, like all 243 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.109 g. For a flat, ask the building manager whether any major work on the structure or facades has already been approved.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report gets to the parcel from the address. The climate is typical of the Po plain, zone E in the Italian classification, with cold, damp winters.
