Gudo Visconti, rice fields and farmsteads south-west of Milan

Gudo Visconti is a small municipality on the plain south-west of Milan, in the Abbiategrasso area, inside the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano, a protected belt of farmland around the city. Around the village there are rice paddies, maize fields, irrigation ditches and old farmsteads, and the land, protected by the park, is largely agricultural. Milan is under an hour by car, depending heavily on traffic on the local roads.

Buyers here usually want a detached house or a villa with a garden within reach of the city, accepting that almost every journey is by car. Converted farmsteads are an interesting option, but check the permitted use, the park's restrictions and utility connections. In summer the flooded rice fields bring mosquitoes and humidity, a practical point worth bearing in mind.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,634 residents in 2023, down 4.5% since 2011. The average age is 44.8, a little below the provincial 45.6, and foreign residents make up 2.8%. Declared incomes are below the average for the province of Milan.

Earthquake risk is low. Gudo Visconti is in seismic zone 4, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.045 g. In the province, 73 municipalities are in zone 4 and 60 in zone 3.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps. On irrigated plains the thing to check is flooding, and the report reads the official maps for the exact address.

Key points

  • Farmland south-west of Milan, inside the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano.

Overview

Gudo Visconti is a municipality in the province of Milano, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 1,634 residents, among the smallest in the province (129 of 133).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Gudo Visconti is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (73 of 133) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.045 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
