Crespiatica, irrigated farmland between Lodi and Crema

Crespiatica is a farming village on the Lodi plain, in the eastern part of the province, on the road between Lodi and Crema. Around the centre lie fields watered by ditches and canals, farmsteads and small scattered hamlets. For work and larger services people look to Lodi, to Crema, or further afield to the Milan area.

Anyone buying here should plan on having a car. The public transport timetables we use show no stops registered in the municipality, so school runs, shopping and commuting depend on your own transport. On the plus side the land is flat, houses often come with a courtyard or garden, and restored farmhouses offer space that would cost far more in a city.

The population has held steady with slight growth: 2,188 residents in 2023 according to Istat, the national statistics office, up 2.4% on the 2,137 of 2011. It is young for the area, with an average age of 43.7 against 45.4 for the province and 18.4% of residents over 65. Foreign nationals make up 13.6%. Declared incomes are a little below the provincial average.

All 60 municipalities in the province of Lodi are in seismic zone 3, and in Crespiatica the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.078 g. That is low, but with an old farmhouse or courtyard house it is worth asking about the roof, floors and load-bearing walls before signing.

In countryside crossed by irrigation canals, flood hazard depends on the exact spot: the report checks it on the official maps from the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, so the report can trace the plot.
