Galgagnano, a small, growing village north of Lodi

Galgagnano lies on the plain north of the town of Lodi and not far from the river Adda. The village has an old core of farmsteads and courtyards plus newer residential streets, home largely to families who work in Lodi or the wider Milan area.

The population is rising: there are 1,319 residents (2023), up 9.2% since 2011. It is also a young place, with an average age of 42.8 against 45.4 in the province and over-65s at 16.5%. Foreign residents make up 8.6%. Average declared incomes are slightly above the provincial average.

Buyers mostly find detached and terraced houses and small blocks of flats, plus the odd courtyard building to restore. The village has few services of its own: schools, shops and the station are in Lodi, a few minutes' drive away. The report measures the distance to these services from the exact location of the home, which in such a small municipality matters more than any average.

All 60 municipalities in the province of Lodi are in seismic zone 3, and here the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.066 g, a low value. For houses built in recent decades, it is still worth having the occupancy certificate and design documents to hand.

The plain along the Adda has low-lying areas and irrigation channels: the report finds the land parcel on the Revenue Agency maps and checks the official flood maps for the address.
