Mairano, farmland on the plain south of Brescia

Mairano is a lowland municipality south of Brescia, in countryside given over to arable fields, livestock farms and farmsteads. The centre is small and orderly, with a hamlet or two and houses strung along the provincial roads. Brescia and the larger towns of the lowlands are where people work, and almost everyone travels by car: open public transport data shows no stops in the municipality.

The housing market is that of a rural village that has added districts of detached and semi-detached houses in recent decades. Alongside these, farmsteads offer plenty of space but need major work, and it is worth asking about nearby livestock farms, which in this area can affect smells and the traffic of farm vehicles.

The population is growing: in 2023 there were 3,477 residents, up 4.4% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. It is a young place, with an average age of 42.4 against 45.4 in the province and just 18.1% aged over 65. Foreign residents are 13.9%. Average incomes are a little below the provincial level.

Municipalities in the province of Brescia are split between seismic zones 2 and 3. Mairano is in zone 3 with 152 others, and the expected ground acceleration is about 0.141 g. For a house built before the current rules, it is worth asking how the structure was made.

The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps. Irrigation channels cross the countryside, so the report checks the flood maps for the address and measures distances to schools and shops.

  • Population up 4.4% since 2011, over-65s at 18.1%.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Mairano is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (153 of 205) are in the same zone.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.

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 14 inhabited census areas in Mairano. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 55 or more.
