Inzago, on the Martesana canal near the Adda

The Naviglio Martesana, the canal that carries water from the Adda river to Milan, runs through Inzago and shapes the town, with old houses and villas along the water and a towpath that is now a cycle route all the way into the city. This is the plain east of Milan, near the Adda, in an area where farming villages have turned over recent decades into residential towns for people who work in Milan.

There is no railway station or metro line in the town, and that is the first point for commuters. Metro line M2 ends at Gessate, not far away, and the railway to Milan stops at Cassano d'Adda; either way the first leg is by car or bike. In return, homes cost less than in towns on the metro, and there is more space: detached houses, restored courtyard buildings in the old centre and newer blocks of flats on the edge.

Growth has been clear: 11,314 residents in 2023, up 7.3% since 2011, or 774 more people, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age of 45.8 and the share of over-65s, 23.4%, are in line with the metropolitan area. Foreign residents make up 8.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average, although that average is pushed up by Milan itself.

In the metropolitan city of Milan, 73 municipalities are in seismic zone 4, the lowest, and 60 in zone 3. Inzago is one of the latter, in zone 3, with low expected ground acceleration of about 0.081 g. In an existing home, the energy rating, the systems and service charges matter more than the structure.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps covering the town, and the report finds the plot from the address. Near the canal and towards the Adda valley, flood hazard is assessed street by street.

Key points

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Inzago is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Only 60 of 133 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.081 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 54 inhabited census areas in Inzago. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 71 or more.
