Coccaglio, below Monte Orfano on the edge of Franciacorta

Coccaglio lies at the foot of Monte Orfano, the isolated hill rising from the Brescia plain near Rovato, on the southern edge of Franciacorta. On one side the town looks towards vineyards, on the other towards the plain, with industrial sheds, farmsteads and the main road and rail links between Brescia and Milan.

For daily commuters the position is useful. The A4 motorway runs close by and, according to published timetables, Coccaglio has 1 station served by 2 regional train lines on the Brescia to Milan route, plus 1 bus line. The downside is noise: for a house near the motorway or the tracks, visit in the evening too, with the windows open.

The population is young and mixed. At the end of 2023 Istat, the national statistics office, counted 8,827 residents, up 4.2% since 2011; the estimated average age is 43.7, below the 45.4 of the province of Brescia, and foreign residents make up 15.0%, a high share even for this province. Declared incomes are a little below the provincial average.

Coccaglio is in seismic zone 3, like 153 of the 205 municipalities in the province; the other 52 are in zone 2. Expected ground acceleration is about 0.138 g, a middling value for that zone. For a flat in a block, ask when it was built and whether any structural work has been done.

On the slopes of Monte Orfano the report checks the slope and landslide maps; on the plain, the flood maps along irrigation channels and canals. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the address leads to the land parcel.
