Castelnuovo Bocca d'Adda, where the Adda meets the Po

The name gives the location away. Castelnuovo Bocca d'Adda lies at the south eastern tip of the province of Lodi, close to where the river Adda flows into the Po, with the province of Cremona on one side and Emilia across the river. It is a farming village on the plain, away from the main roads, and people travel to Codogno, Cremona, Piacenza or Lodi for work.

With two large rivers so close, that is where any assessment of a house should start. Floodplain land, embankments and the lowest plots behave differently from the raised parts of the village: the report checks the official flood maps for the exact address, and it is worth asking the seller whether the cellar or ground floor has ever taken in water.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,531 residents in 2023, down 9.9% on the 1,700 of 2011. The village is older than its province: an average age of 48.5 against 45.4, and over-65s at 28.3% against 22.6%. Foreign residents account for 8.0%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

All 60 municipalities in the province of Lodi are in seismic zone 3; the expected ground acceleration here is about 0.083 g. With the brick houses of the lower plain, look at damp in the walls, the state of the roof and how the floors were rebuilt.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report reaches the land parcel from the address.
