Martignana di Po, a Casalasco village near the river

Martignana di Po has the river in its name. It is a village on the Casalasco plain, in the south-east of the province of Cremona, close to the Po and a short drive from Casalmaggiore. The land is flat and agricultural, with fields, poplar plantations towards the river and old farmsteads, and many residents work in the nearby towns.

The village has gained residents in recent years, which is not a given for a small lowland municipality. Housing is mostly detached homes, small villas and old farmhouses; newer buildings are usually easier to heat, which matters in climate zone E, with cold, damp winters. If you buy near the Po or in the lowest areas, look closely at the official flood maps: the report reads them for the address.

According to Istat, Italy's national statistics office, there were 2,005 residents at the end of 2023, up 5.9% on 2011. The average age is 43.0, well below the provincial 46.8, and 18.7% of residents are over 65, against 25.3% for the province. Foreign residents make up 13.5%. Declared incomes are a little below the Cremona average.

The village is in seismic zone 3, like all 113 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.080 g. The level is low, but in brick farmhouses check roofs, timber floors and cracks in the walls.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report goes from the address to the land parcel.
