Cazzano Sant'Andrea, gateway to Val Gandino

Cazzano Sant'Andrea is the first village you reach entering Val Gandino, the side valley of Val Seriana known for its textile tradition, the same valley as Gandino and Leffe. The municipality is small and its valley floor heavily built up: homes, firms and workshops fill the valley floor, while meadows and woods rise straight up the slopes. Bergamo is reached by car down Val Seriana; the valley tram runs as far as Albino, further down.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,690 residents in 2023, up 6.0% on the 1,594 of 2011, and the average age is 43.5, below the provincial 45.2. Over-65s are 19.6%, households have 2.41 people on average and foreign residents make up 3.4%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

The market is made up of detached and terraced houses and flats in small blocks, with few old buildings. In such a narrow valley floor, check how close a home is to through roads and industrial units, and how much sun it gets in winter. The report measures slope and distances to services for the address and checks the official landslide and flood maps.

All 243 municipalities in the province of Bergamo are in seismic zone 3 under the Civil Protection classification; in Cazzano the expected ground acceleration is 0.103 g. For a house built before the 1980s, it is worth having the roof and floors checked. The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps and the report traces the parcel.
