Inverigo, the Rotonda and the hills of Brianza

On the hill at Inverigo the Rotonda, a neoclassical villa designed by Luigi Cagnola, can be seen from far away, and just below it stands Villa Crivelli with its long avenue of cypresses. The town lies in the Como part of Brianza, between Cantù and Erba, in a landscape of low hills, woods and meadows, and includes hamlets such as Cremnago and Romanò.

The station on the Ferrovie Nord line from Milan to Asso runs towards Seveso and Milan, and the town is also served by buses. The housing is mainly detached houses and small blocks of flats set among greenery, on roads that climb and dip, with many sloping plots. Average declared incomes are above the average for the province of Como.

At the end of 2023 there were 9,247 residents, up 3.6% on 2011. By population Inverigo ranks 11 in the province. The average age of 46.1 is in line with the provincial figure (46.3); people over 65 make up 23.3% and foreign residents 5.2%.

Every municipality in the province of Como is in seismic zone 4 under the Civil Protection Department's classification, and expected ground acceleration in Inverigo is about 0.048 g. Earthquakes are therefore not the main worry. Sloping ground, retaining walls and damp in houses close to woods or streams matter more, along with the energy rating, since winters are cold (climate zone E).

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for Inverigo: the report finds the land parcel from the address, checks the official landslide and flood maps, then measures the distance to the station and local services.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Inverigo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 147 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.048 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.
