Corno Giovine, the lower Lodi plain towards the Po

Corno Giovine lies in the Basso Lodigiano, the southern part of the province of Lodi, just east of Codogno, on the plain as it nears the river Po. It is a farming village with a compact centre surrounded by fields, farmsteads and rows of poplars. Codogno is the reference for services and trains: from its station there are connections to Milan, Piacenza and Cremona.

For people working between Lodi, Piacenza and Milan, a village like this offers detached houses and villas with gardens in a quiet setting, with the car as everyday transport. In old farmsteads and courtyard houses, rising damp, the roof and whether conversions were permitted matter most; in newer homes, insulation and heating, with cold, foggy winters (climate zone E).

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,134 residents in 2023, 4.9% fewer than in 2011. The average age is 46.6, against 45.4 in the province, and 25.0% of residents are over 65, compared with 22.6%. Foreign residents make up 10.4%. Declared incomes are slightly below the average for the province of Lodi.

All 60 municipalities in the province of Lodi are in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department scale; in Corno Giovine expected ground acceleration is 0.082 g. For rural masonry buildings it is worth asking whether the structure has been assessed.

Water is the thing to check most carefully. Near the Po and the canals some areas can flood, and the report checks the address on the official flood hazard maps. With the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, the plot is identified from the address.
