Castiraga Vidardo, two villages on the plain near Lodi

The name tells you how the municipality is made up: Castiraga and Vidardo are two settlements on the Lodi plain, joined in a single municipality between Lodi and Sant'Angelo Lodigiano. Around them are cultivated fields, farmsteads and irrigation channels, on completely flat land at around 75 metres.

Newer neighbourhoods have grown up beside the old centres, and most homes on offer are detached houses, terraced houses and small new blocks, next to the older houses of the two centres. It is a common choice for people who work in Lodi, Pavia or the Milan area and want a house with a garden. Most journeys are by car; for the address, the report gives distances to schools, shops and bus stops.
