Marcallo con Casone, west of Milan by the A4

The double name comes from the two settlements, Marcallo and Casone, that make up the municipality. This is the area west of Milan, north of Magenta and about thirty kilometres from the city, on a plain crowded with towns, roads and industrial buildings. The Milan-Turin motorway has its Marcallo-Mesero exit here, and Malpensa airport and the Ticino river park are a short drive away.

The town is mainly residential: detached and terraced houses and small blocks of flats built over recent decades, around the old centres with their traditional courtyard houses. The land is heavily built up, and green space means gardens and the fields left at the edges. There is no station, so rail users go to Magenta, on the Milan-Turin line. Declared incomes are below the average for the metropolitan area, which Milan itself pushes up.

The population is growing. In 2023 Istat, the national statistics office, counted 6,303 residents, up 4.5% on 2011, or 271 more people. The average age of 45.8 is in line with the province and foreign residents make up 7.1%. Life is quiet, with few places to go out: Overture Maps counts 12 cafés and restaurants, 1.90 per 1,000 residents against 4.39 in the province.

Earthquake hazard is minimal. Italy's Civil Protection Department puts Marcallo con Casone in zone 4, like 73 of the 133 municipalities in the metropolitan area, with the rest in zone 3, and the expected acceleration is about 0.039 g. For a home here, the energy rating, heating and electrics, insulation and, in a block of flats, the state of the shared parts matter more.

On such a built-up plain, flood hazard depends on the exact spot, the drainage network and how close the canals are. The report checks it for the address and, using the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, finds the plot.
