Castiglione d'Adda, on the edge of the Adda valley south of Lodi
In the southern part of the Lodi province the landscape is fields, farmsteads and rows of poplars, and the river Adda runs in a valley set below the level of the plain, bounded by a bank. Castiglione d'Adda sits on that edge, a few kilometres from Codogno and about twenty from Lodi, with the Cremona side of the river opposite. The land along the Adda belongs to the Adda Sud regional park, with woods, oxbow lakes and footpaths.
The difference between the higher and lower parts of the municipality is the first thing a buyer should understand. The village sits on the plain, while areas near the river can flood when it is in spate: the report checks the official flood maps for the address and tells you whether the house falls in an at-risk area.
With 4,503 residents Castiglione is one of the larger municipalities in the province, ranked 9 of 60, but the population is falling: 315 fewer people than in 2011, a drop of 6.5%. The average age is 47.2 against 45.4 in the province and foreign residents make up 9.7%.
Everyday services are there, with 4 school sites and 3 supermarkets recorded, while for the hospital and the railway station people go to Codogno. The data shows no public transport stops in the municipality, so you will need a car.
Seismic risk is low: the whole province of Lodi is in zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, and the expected ground acceleration here is about 0.077 g. In the older houses of the centre and in farmsteads, the usual problems are rising damp and the state of the roof, which should be checked before making an offer.
