Fiesco, Cremona farmland near Castelleone

On the plain of the province of Cremona, between Crema and Soresina in the Castelleone area, Fiesco is a village of irrigated farmland: maize and fodder crops, dairy farms, irrigation ditches and rows of trees along the canals. The land is flat, at about 70 metres above sea level, and getting around means driving; Crema and Cremona are the references for work, secondary schools and the hospital.

The population is holding steady and is not old. There were 1,196 residents in 2023, nearly the same as in 2011 (0.3% fewer, according to Istat, the national statistics office), with an average age of 44.7 against 46.8 in the province and over-65s at 20.3%, against 25.3% provincially. Foreign residents make up 7.1%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Homes are mainly detached houses, village houses with yards and courtyard farmsteads (cascine), some divided into several homes. The climate zone is E, with foggy winters and muggy summers, so insulation and windows matter in both seasons. With a cascina, check the roof, damp and whether the parts converted into living space have the proper permits.

All 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona are in seismic zone 3 of the national classification. In Fiesco the expected ground acceleration is 0.096 g: the hazard is moderate, but for a brick farm building a check of the floors and wall connections is still a good idea.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report reaches the land parcel from the address. On a plain watered by ditches and canals, flood hazard is checked on the official maps for each house.
