Concesio, where the Val Trompia opens onto Brescia

Concesio is the first municipality of the Val Trompia, at the point where the valley of the river Mella opens onto the Brescia plain; in practice it continues the northern outskirts of the city. The town is known as the birthplace of Pope Paul VI, Giovanni Battista Montini, and his family home is open to visitors.

The area has two sides. On the valley floor, along the Mella and the roads climbing up the valley, are the densest neighbourhoods, the traffic and the businesses, many of them in the metalworking trades the Val Trompia is known for. On the hills on either side there are hamlets and scattered houses, greener and steeper. People reach Brescia by car or bus, as the municipality has no railway station.

In 2023 there were 15,661 residents, up 5.7% on 2011. The population is slightly older than the provincial one: average age 46.1 against 45.4, over-65s at 24.1% against 22.8%. Foreign nationals make up 7.8%. Declared incomes are above the average for the province of Brescia. Per resident, recorded schools and supermarkets are below the provincial average, since the nearby city serves many needs.

Seismic hazard is not negligible. Concesio is in zone 3 of the Civil Protection Department's classification, like 153 municipalities in the province, but the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area, about 0.147 g, is close to the upper limit for that class; the 2004 Salò earthquake on Lake Garda showed that the Brescia area is not immune. For a building from the 1960s or 1970s, ask for the structural design and any later work.

Two checks depend on location: flood hazard near the Mella and landslide hazard on the slopes. The report runs both for the address, together with the link to the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, which are published for the municipality.
