Fenegrò, a residential village in southern Como province

Fenegrò lies in the southern part of the province of Como, on the rolling plain that runs down towards Saronno and the Milan area, in a zone of closely spaced villages, workshops and remnants of woodland. The centre is small and compact, surrounded by districts of detached houses built in recent decades; about a fifth of the municipal area is built up.

This is a place to live rather than to work. Many residents work in firms around Como and Saronno or in Milan, and drive on provincial roads; the open timetables show no public transport stops in the municipality, so check the distance to stations in nearby villages, which the report calculates from the address. Supply is detached and semi-detached houses and small blocks of flats, with a few courtyard houses in the old core.

There were 3,256 residents in 2023, up 3.5% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is a little younger than the provincial one: average age 44.7 against 46.3, over-65s at 21.5% against 24.1%. Foreign residents make up 6.3%. Declared incomes are above the average for the province of Como.

Earthquakes are not a significant concern: all 147 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 4, the lowest in the Civil Protection classification, and here the expected acceleration is about 0.040 g. In houses built between the sixties and eighties, energy rating, windows and roof matter most.

Cadastral maps are published and the report finds the parcel from the address, along with the official flood maps along streams and minor valleys.

Key points

  • Southern Como province, towards Saronno and Milan.
  • Up 3.5% since 2011, incomes above average.
  • No stops in the open timetables: a car is needed.
  • Seismic zone 4, the lowest, like the whole province.

Overview

Fenegrò is a municipality in the province of Como, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 3,256 residents, ranked 56 of 147 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Fenegrò is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 147 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.040 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has grown by 3.5%. The estimated average age is 45 years, lower than the province average (46). 21% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 6.3% of the population. On average, a household has 2.4 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Fenegrò declared an average taxable income of 27,965 euros, in line with the province (26,761 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Fenegrò is in climate zone E, with 2,541 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 290 metres above sea level.

How built-up it is

Radon and contaminated sites

Fenegrò is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Lombardia in 2023. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list no contaminated sites in Fenegrò.

Landslides and flooding

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection.
