Fiesse, the lower Brescia plain towards Mantua

Fiesse is a lowland municipality in the south-east of the province of Brescia, the Bassa bresciana, which to the east draws close to the Mantua area. The landscape is the farming country of eastern Lombardy: fields of maize and fodder, farmsteads with large courtyards, livestock farms and long straight roads. The village is small and the main services are in the nearby towns of the plain, while Brescia means a longer drive.

People who buy here usually want space: village houses with a yard, detached homes and rural courtyard buildings to restore, at prices far from those of the city. Farm courtyards should be assessed with a surveyor, since roofs, cowsheds and haylofts often need major work. A car is essential for work, school and shopping.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,022 residents in 2023, down 7.0% since 2011. The average age is 45.6, in line with the provincial 45.4, and 22.6% are over 65. Foreign residents make up 14.1%. Declared incomes are below the Brescia average.

Fiesse is in seismic zone 3 and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.101 g. In an older house on the plain, look at the quality of the brick walls, the roof and rising damp. The report also checks the official flood maps for the address, useful in countryside crossed by canals and irrigation ditches.

Revenue Agency cadastral maps are published, so the report can trace the address back to its plot.
