Gombito, Cremona farmland near the Adda

Gombito stands on the plain around Cremona, not far from the river Adda. The landscape is flat farmland, with the village gathered around its centre and farmsteads scattered among the fields. For work, secondary schools and hospitals people look to the larger towns in the province, Cremona and Crema, or to the Lodi area across the river, all reached by car.

Being near the Adda is the first thing to weigh up for a house. In the lower-lying land towards the river, the official flood hazard maps can change the picture even between two neighbouring plots; the report reads them for the exact address, together with distances to the pharmacy, school and shops.

There are 622 residents in 2023, 2.2% fewer than in 2011, a modest fall according to Istat, the national statistics institute. The population is in line with the province: an average age of 47.5 against 46.8, over-65s at 23.8% against 25.3%. Foreign residents account for 8.0% and households average 2.21 people. There are 11.25 bars and restaurants per 1,000 residents, against 4.08 in the province. Average declared income is below the Cremona level.

All 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona are in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection (Protezione Civile) classification, a moderate hazard. In Gombito the expected ground acceleration in the village is about 0.081 g. For a farmhouse or a house built before the recent rules it is still worth having the load-bearing walls and roof checked.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report traces the address to its land parcel and building.
