For example: Via Giuseppe Garibaldi 2, Casteldidone.

Casteldidone, the low plain around Casalmaggiore

This is the eastern part of the province of Cremona, the Casalasco, the low plain named after the town of Casalmaggiore. Casteldidone lies less than 30 metres above sea level: a flat village with houses along the main roads, scattered farmsteads and fields all around. Casalmaggiore is the nearby town for services, while Cremona and Parma are the larger cities people look to.

Homes are mostly detached houses and farmsteads. In such a low-lying area, check damp on ground floors carefully and ask whether the building has ever had water problems; the report checks the official flood maps at the exact address. Winters are cold and foggy, climate zone E.

There were 544 residents in 2023 against 576 in 2011, a drop of 5.6%. The average age is 48.8 against 46.8 in the province, and over-65s make up 29.4%. Foreign residents account for 17.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

All 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona are in seismic zone 3. The Po plain is not immune to earthquakes, and in Casteldidone the expected ground acceleration in the village is about 0.076 g. In farmsteads and old brick houses, ask whether walls and floors are tied together and whether the roof has been redone.

Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published here too, so the report traces the street number to its parcel and building.
