Castelvisconti, fields and farmsteads on the Cremona plain

Castelvisconti is a small municipality on the Cremona plain, north of the provincial capital, in a flat landscape of irrigated fields, channels, rows of trees and large farmsteads. The local economy is tied to farming and livestock, and for work, secondary schools and services people look to the bigger towns in the province and to Cremona, always by car.

The market consists of village houses, detached homes and farmsteads, some still linked to working farms. In older lowland buildings the points to check are rising damp, roofs and the state of the wiring and plumbing; with farmsteads, also property boundaries and rights of way. The report checks the official flood maps at the address, useful near watercourses.

In 2023 there were 311 residents, down 5.8% from the 330 of 2011, according to Istat, Italy's national statistics office. The population is relatively young: an average age of 47.7, close to the provincial 46.8, and over-65s at 24.1%, below the provincial 25.3%. Foreign residents account for 18.0%. Households have 2.29 members on average.

All 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona are in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's national scale, and expected ground acceleration here is about 0.104 g, moderate for the plain. For a brick building with old timber or clay-block floors, have the beam supports and any cracks checked.

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