Cella Dati, farmsteads and fields on the Cremona plain

Cella Dati is a small farming municipality on the Cremona plain: flat land, the town hall at around 35 metres, farmsteads scattered among the fields and a compact village centre. Cremona and the larger towns of the province are a drive away for work, secondary schools and services.

House hunters here find village houses with courtyards, detached homes and farmsteads (cascine), sometimes with outbuildings and haylofts attached. They offer plenty of space, but before buying allow for heating large volumes in climate zone E, the damp that rises through ground-floor walls on the plain, and the state of the roofs. To convert a hayloft or a cowshed, check what the local zoning plan allows.

In 2023 there were 476 residents, 13.9% fewer than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 50.7 is higher than the provincial one (46.8) and over-65s make up 32.4%, against 25.3%. Foreign residents account for 12.6%. Average declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

All 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona are in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection department's national scale, and in Cella Dati the expected ground acceleration is about 0.079 g. For an old masonry farmstead, have a surveyor check how the walls, beams and roof are tied together.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report gets from the address to the land parcel. On a plain crossed by rivers, canals and irrigation ditches, flood hazard changes from one area to the next, and the report checks it on the official maps for the address.
