Mesero, west of Milan by the motorway exit

Mesero is one of the small towns around Magenta, on the plain west of Milan. The Turin to Milan motorway has an exit here that carries its name, Marcallo-Mesero, from which you can reach the city or head towards Malpensa airport without crossing other towns. There is no railway station in the municipality: for trains, people use the neighbouring towns.

The land is flat and quite built up for a municipality of this size, with streets of detached houses and small blocks of flats around the old core and industrial areas towards the motorway. For each address the report shows which price band of the Revenue Agency's property market observatory (OMI) the area falls into, and how far schools, pharmacies and supermarkets are.

In 2023 there were 4,232 residents, up 8.3% on 2011. The average age is 46.4 (45.6 across the metropolitan city), over-65s make up 24.2% and foreign residents 6.0%. Households have 2.23 members on average. Average declared incomes are well below the provincial average, which is pushed up by Milan itself.

Seismic hazard is low: the metropolitan city has 60 municipalities in zone 3 and 73 in zone 4 of the Civil Protection Department's classification, and Mesero is in zone 4, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.039 g. For a flat, the state of the building, service charges and the energy rating count for more.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report traces the plot. Flood hazard and motorway noise are assessed for the exact address.

Key points

  • Marcallo-Mesero exit on the Turin-Milan motorway; no station in town.
  • 4,232 residents, up 8.3% since 2011.
  • Seismic zone 4, expected ground acceleration about 0.039 g.

Overview

Mesero is a municipality in the province of Milano, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 4,232 residents, ranked 111 of 133 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Mesero is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (73 of 133) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.039 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Population

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Mesero: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

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 Mesero. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 71 or more.
