Lentate sul Seveso, furniture-making Brianza by the Como border
Lentate sul Seveso is the last municipality in the province of Monza and Brianza before the province of Como, along the Seveso valley. It brings together the main town and the hamlets of Camnago, Birago, Copreno and Cimnago, and it belongs to furniture-making Brianza: workshops and furniture factories are still part of the landscape, next to residential streets.
The railway is a plus. Camnago-Lentate station is served by 2 rail lines in the public timetables, with trains towards Milan and towards Como, and drivers have the Milano-Meda dual carriageway. Housing mixes apartment blocks, detached houses and old courtyard buildings in the historic cores of the hamlets.
At the end of 2023 there were 15,823 residents, up 2.2% since 2011 (Istat, the national statistics office). Lentate is a little older than the province: the estimated average age is 46.8 against 45.9, and over-65s make up 25.6% against 23.5%. Foreign residents account for 8.3%, and declared incomes are below the province's high average.
Seismic risk is low. Lentate is one of the 15 municipalities in the province in zone 4, the least hazardous, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.044 g; the rest of Brianza is in zone 3.
The Seveso is the stream known for flooding north of Milan, and here too land close to its bed deserves a careful look. The report checks flood hazard for the exact address and finds the plot on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) maps. For a house near industrial buildings or through roads, visit during working hours as well, when the lorries are running.
