Gadesco-Pieve Delmona, farmland on the edge of Cremona

Just east of Cremona, along the road to Mantua, Gadesco-Pieve Delmona is a lowland municipality made up of several small centres, formed by merging two villages. The land is flat, irrigated countryside, with farmsteads, working farms and residential areas that have grown up close to the city.

Being near Cremona is the main reason people choose to live here: the city is a few minutes' drive away for work, schools and the hospital. Homes are mostly detached and terraced houses, next to old farmsteads. Services and distances vary between the different centres, and the report measures them from the exact address. On a plain crossed by canals and irrigation channels, the official flood maps should be checked for each building.

The population is young for the area. In 2023 there were 1,889 residents, according to Istat, the national statistics office, down 6.3% on 2011. The average age is 44.7, against 46.8 in the province of Cremona, and over-65s are 20.0%, against 25.3%. Foreign residents are 11.4%. Declared incomes are just below the provincial average.

For earthquakes, the municipality is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, like all 112 other municipalities in the province, with an expected acceleration of 0.082 g. In farmsteads and brick houses, check roofs, floors and damp walls.

The climate is zone E, with foggy winters. The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are available and the report links the address to its land parcel.
