Lardirago, Pavia farmland north-east of the city

Pavia is only a few minutes' drive from Lardirago, which lies on the plain north-east of the city, in farmland crossed by irrigation ditches and dotted with farmsteads, with its castle and a compact centre. Pavia has the university, hospitals and station; Milan is within driving distance for commuters.

Homes on the market are detached and semi-detached houses built in recent decades, village houses with courtyards and farmsteads, some divided into several homes. The climate is that of the low Lombard plain, zone E: cold, foggy winters and hot, humid summers. Insulation, windows and cooling matter in both seasons; in older houses, check for rising damp.

In 2023 there were 1,177 residents, 1.9% fewer than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 47.8 is close to the figure for the province of Pavia (47.1); over-65s make up 25.7% and foreign residents 9.9%. Declared incomes are a little below the provincial average.

Lardirago is in seismic zone 3 of the national classification, like 157 of the 184 municipalities in the province, with a low expected ground acceleration of 0.067 g. In a brick farmstead it is still worth checking for cracks and the condition of floors and roof.

With the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, the report goes from the address to the land parcel. On a plain of channels and small watercourses, flood hazard varies from spot to spot and is read on the official maps for the individual house.
