Cingia de' Botti, the plain between Cremona and Casalmaggiore

Halfway between Cremona and Casalmaggiore, on the plain north of the river Po, Cingia de' Botti is a farming village around 30 metres above sea level, surrounded by fields of maize and fodder crops, farmsteads and livestock farms. Both towns are reached by car, and that is where secondary schools, hospitals and most shops are.

The village has lost many residents: according to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 1,371 in 2011 and 1,134 in 2023, a fall of 17.3%. The average age is 48.8, against 46.8 in the province, and 28.5% of residents are over 65. Foreign residents make up 14.2%. Declared incomes are below the average for the province of Cremona.

Buyers find detached houses, villas and large farm buildings, sometimes split into several flats. In farmsteads, check the roof, floors, rising damp and whether conversions were properly permitted; in newer houses the energy rating, as winters are cold and foggy (climate zone E) and summers hot and humid.

Like all 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona, Cingia de' Botti is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department scale, with expected ground acceleration of 0.078 g. In a large rural building it is worth asking whether the walls and roof have been strengthened.

Near the Po, water is the main issue: the report checks every address against the official flood hazard maps, which on this plain can tell apart areas that are very close together. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, so the plot is found from the address.
