Corvino San Quirico, the first Oltrepò hills above Casteggio

Just outside Casteggio the plain gives way to the first hills of the Oltrepò Pavese, and Corvino San Quirico sits right there, among vineyards and small clusters of houses. Casteggio, with its station on the Voghera to Piacenza line, shops and schools, is the everyday town, while Voghera and Pavia are within driving distance.

Being so close to the plain shapes the housing on offer: detached homes and newer houses lower down, farmhouses and hill houses higher up, with views and climbing roads. If you buy in the hills, look at access and the land itself. The report measures the gradient at the address and checks the official landslide maps, and lower down it checks the flood maps along the streams.

It is a village with many older residents: over-65s are 33.5% against 25.2% in the province of Pavia, and the average age is 51.6. In 2023 there were 955 residents, down 7.6% on 2011. Foreign residents account for 8.0%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

For earthquakes Corvino is in seismic zone 3, like 156 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.090 g. In older brick houses ask about the roof, the floors and any cracks.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes its cadastral maps here, so the report goes from the street to the land parcel, even when vineyards or land come with the house.
