Lomello, the village that named the Lomellina

The Lomellina, the rice-growing plain in the western part of the province of Pavia, takes its name from this village. Lomello was its centre in the early Middle Ages, and you can still see it in the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore and the baptistery of San Giovanni ad Fontes, one of the best-known Romanesque sites in the area. Around it are fields flooded in spring, farmsteads and straight roads between villages, with Mortara and Vigevano the nearest towns for services and work.

The village has a station: the public transport data shows 2 lines serving it, rail and bus. For anyone working in Pavia or Milan that counts, but check timetables and changes before relying on it every day. Houses are mostly two-storey village buildings, courtyards and farmhouses, often in need of work.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,036 residents in 2023, down 11.3% since 2011. The average age reaches 49.8, above the provincial 47.1, and 29.8% are over 65 against 25.2% in the province. Foreign residents make up 9.3%. Declared incomes are lower than the Pavia average.

Earthquake risk is low here: seismic zone 3, with an expected acceleration of 0.052 g. In an old house on the plain, rising damp, the roof and the wiring and plumbing matter more. The report checks the official flood maps for the address, which is useful on a plain crossed by canals and watercourses. Revenue Agency cadastral maps are published.
