Lasnigo, on the hillside of the Vallassina

The Vallassina is the valley of the Lario triangle, between the two arms of Lake Como, that climbs from the Erba area towards the Ghisallo pass and Bellagio, and Lasnigo occupies a stretch of its hillside at around 570 metres. It is a small village, with houses grouped on the slope and woods around; down below, along the valley road, are the larger villages with shops and services.

People who move here often work elsewhere, towards Erba, Como or Brianza, and accept a few bends in the road in return for mountain air and quiet. Before buying, check the sun exposure, the route in snow and heating costs: this is climate zone E, but on the hillside winter temperatures drop a good deal.

The population is almost stable: 457 residents in 2023, just 1.1% fewer than in 2011. The average age of 46.9 is close to the 46.3 of the province of Como, over-65s make up 25.4% and foreign residents 8.3%. Households have 2.13 members on average. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquakes are not a factor in the choice: all 147 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 4, the lowest on the Civil Protection Department's national scale, and expected ground acceleration in Lasnigo is about 0.046 g. Insulation, the roof and damp in walls set against the slope matter far more.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report links the address to its land parcel. On a valley side like this one, landslide hazard and the hazard from mountain streams change from spot to spot and are read for the address on the official maps.

Key points

  • Vallassina hillside, at around 570 metres.
  • 457 residents, almost unchanged since 2011.
  • All 147 municipalities in Como province in seismic zone 4.
  • Check sun exposure, snow access and heating.

Overview

Lasnigo is a municipality in the province of Como, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 457 residents, ranked 129 of 147 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Lasnigo 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 0.046 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 1.1%. The estimated average age is 47 years, in line with the province. 25% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 8.3% of the population. On average, a household has 2.1 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Lasnigo declared an average taxable income of 23,193 euros, below the provincial average (26,761 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Lasnigo is in climate zone E, with 2,879 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 570 metres above sea level.

How built-up it is

Radon and contaminated sites

Lasnigo is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Lombardia in 2023. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

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 3 inhabited census areas in Lasnigo. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 58 or more.
