Comezzano-Cizzago, two villages on the plain west of Brescia
The hyphen in the name joins two villages, Comezzano and Cizzago, long since merged into one municipality. This is the western Brescia plain, south-west of the city: irrigated fields, farmsteads, irrigation channels and rows of trees, with the two built-up areas a few kilometres apart. Most of the land is still farmed.
In recent years the municipality has drawn young families, with new streets of detached houses and small blocks of flats on the edges of the villages. For work people drive to Brescia, Chiari and the business parks of the plain, and the A35 Brebemi motorway runs close by. Services in the villages are few, 15 in total in the data, so the big weekly shop means going elsewhere. In new houses ask for the certificate of fitness for occupation (agibilità), the structural sign-off and the energy rating; in old courtyard houses, check roofs and walls.
The population figures are those of a growing municipality: 4,150 residents in 2023, 11.6% more than the 3,717 of 2011. The average age is 40.7, against 45.4 for the province, and over-65s are just 15.4%. Households average 2.75 people and foreign residents account for 11.6%. Declared incomes remain below the Brescia average.
Comezzano-Cizzago is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like most municipalities in the province (153 in all), while 52 are in zone 2. Expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.133 g, not a negligible value for this class, so even for a recent house it is worth looking at the structural design.
On the plain the issue is water from channels and ditches. The report checks the flood maps for the address and reaches the land parcel with the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, which are published for the municipality.
