Cividate al Piano, the low Bergamo plain near the Oglio

The name says a lot: "al Piano" means on the plain, and Cividate al Piano is a flatland town in the eastern part of the low Bergamo plain, a short distance from the river Oglio and the border with the province of Brescia. Around it are fields of maize and cereals, farmsteads and irrigation channels; the town has a compact old core surrounded by estates of detached houses and small blocks of flats, plus a few industrial areas.

People look in several directions for work. Bergamo lies to the north, Treviglio and Romano di Lombardia to the west, Brescia to the east, and the A35 Brebemi motorway runs through neighbouring towns. The report shows the distance from the address to the nearest stop and to services. Overture Maps, an open map of places, lists 4 supermarkets and 2 pharmacies in town; for the hospital and secondary schools people travel elsewhere.

There were 5,025 residents in 2023, down 2.6% on the 2011 census, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 45.6 (45.2 in the province of Bergamo), 23.3% of residents are over 65 and foreign nationals make up 15.2%. Households have 2.47 members on average. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Cividate is in seismic zone 3 along with the other 242 municipalities in the province. The expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.132 g. In courtyard houses and masonry buildings in the centre, have a surveyor look at the load-bearing walls, floors and roof before completion.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here and the report reaches the land parcel from the street number. On the plain towards the Oglio, flood hazard depends on how close the house is to the river and the channels, and the report checks it at the exact address.
