Codevilla, the first Oltrepò hills above Voghera

Just after the plain south of Voghera, the road starts climbing through vineyards, and this is where you find Codevilla, one of the villages where the Oltrepò Pavese hills begin. It has a compact old core surrounded by scattered houses, farmsteads and smallholdings among rows of vines and fields.

Location is the main advantage. Voghera is a few minutes away, with shops, a hospital, secondary schools and a railway station on the lines to Milan and Genoa, which makes Codevilla workable for people with jobs elsewhere. On the other hand there are few services in the village and almost everything means driving. On the market you will find brick village houses, detached houses from recent decades and farmhouses with land; with the latter, find out exactly which parts are habitable and which are still unconverted.

In 2023 Codevilla had 921 residents, down 7.9% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is older than in the province of Pavia as a whole: the average age is 50.4 against 47.1, and over-65s make up 29.6% against 25.2%. Foreign residents account for 6.3%. Declared incomes are just below the provincial average.

The province of Pavia is split between two seismic zones in the Civil Protection classification. Codevilla is in zone 3 with 156 other municipalities, while 27 are in the lowest zone. Expected ground acceleration is 0.089 g. In a farmhouse or village house, ask when the roof and floors were last redone.

For a house on the hillside, the report checks the address against the official landslide maps. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, and the report goes from the house number to the land parcel.
