Castelgerundo, two Lodi villages along the Adda

Castelgerundo is a young municipality, formed by merging Camairago and Cavacurta, two villages in the Lodi area close to the river Adda. The name recalls the Gerundo, the ancient lake or marsh that, according to tradition, once covered this part of the plain between the Adda and the Po.

The land is flat and agricultural, with farmsteads, fields and woodland along the river. Codogno and Lodi are the towns for work, schools and the hospital, and the province of Cremona lies just across the Adda. Buyers will find village houses, detached homes and farmsteads; with the latter, roofs, floors and damp matter, and for anyone planning to renovate, access and drainage too.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,440 residents in 2023, down 5.3% since 2011, counting both villages together. The average age is 46.7, against 45.4 for the province of Lodi, and over-65s make up 24.3%. Foreign residents account for 8.5%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

All 60 municipalities in the province of Lodi are in seismic zone 3; in Castelgerundo the expected ground acceleration is 0.078 g. In farmsteads with wings added over time, have the connections between the parts checked before any work.

With the Adda so close, the report's check of the official flood maps for the address is particularly useful. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report reaches the land parcel.
