Maclodio, farmland and family homes west of Brescia

Maclodio's name appears in history books for a fifteenth-century battle between Venice and the Duchy of Milan. Today it is a village on the western Brescia plain, among maize fields, farmsteads and scattered sheds, about twenty kilometres from Brescia. The centre is small, and around it neighbourhoods of detached and terraced houses have grown up.

The striking figure is age. With an average of 41.8, Maclodio is younger than the province, at 45.4, and over-65s make up only 17.5%. Households have 2.66 members on average and foreign residents account for 13.7%. According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 1,503 residents in 2023, almost exactly as many as in 2011 (+0.1%). Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

For buyers, this is a residential village on the plain, chosen by people who work in Brescia or in the industrial areas to the south and want a house with a garden. With no train or bus stops recorded in the municipality, a car is needed for almost every trip. It is also worth checking the irrigation channels near the plot: the report looks at the official flood maps for the address.

Maclodio is in seismic zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.140 g. In the province of Brescia, 52 municipalities are in zone 2 and 153 in zone 3. For a house from the 1970s or 1980s, ask for the structural design and check the state of the roof and systems.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps covering the whole municipality.
