Izano, Crema countryside south of the town

Izano is a small municipality in the Cremasco, the northern part of the province of Cremona that looks to the town of Crema, and lies on the plain south of the town. The town hall is below 80 metres. Around it are fields, irrigation channels and farmsteads, with a compact village and a few scattered rural clusters.

Closeness to Crema is the main reason to choose Izano: the town is a few minutes away by car or bike, with schools, a hospital and a railway station. Homes are mostly detached and semi-detached houses from recent decades, next to old village houses and some restored farmsteads. Buyers get lower prices than in town and larger gardens.

According to Istat, the national statistics institute, there were 1,962 residents in 2023, down 5.1% from 2,068 in 2011. The average age is 46.6, in line with 46.8 for the province, and foreign residents make up 4.8%. Households have 2.32 members on average. Incomes are close to the provincial average.

Izano is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, with an expected acceleration of 0.096 g. The Crema plain is not among the most exposed areas, but for a house built before recent codes it is still worth asking for the structural paperwork.

For each address the report shows the official flood maps, useful near the irrigation channels and watercourses of the plain, and the Revenue Agency cadastral maps, which are published.
