Lurano, a growing village on the Bergamo plain

Lurano is a village on the Bergamo plain, in the farmland between Bergamo and Treviglio, with its centre gathered around the church and newer residential streets on the edges. The land is flat, planted with maize and fodder crops, and crossed by irrigation channels and the local roads linking the villages of the lower plain.

The village has grown in recent years and taken in many young families. There were 2,893 residents in 2023, up 12.1% since 2011. The mean age is 42.5, below the provincial average (45.2), and only 18.6% are over 65. Foreign nationals make up 10.2%, and declared incomes are close to the provincial average.

For buyers the village mainly offers detached and semi-detached houses and flats in small, recent blocks. Jobs and larger services are in Bergamo, Treviglio and the industrial areas around them, and trains to Milan leave from Treviglio. Even so, a car is needed for nearly everything. In newer homes, check the energy rating and systems; in older houses in the centre, the roof and insulation, since winters in climate zone E are long and foggy.

Seismic risk is moderate: all 243 municipalities in the province are in zone 3, and here the expected ground acceleration is 0.114 g. For a specific address, the report also reads the official flood maps along the irrigation channels.
