Misano di Gera d'Adda, the lower Bergamo plain near Treviglio

The Gera d'Adda is the plain between the Adda and Serio rivers, in the lowlands south of Bergamo, and Misano is one of its farming villages, with a compact centre around the church and farmsteads in the countryside around it. Treviglio and Caravaggio are close by, and trains leave Treviglio for Milan and Bergamo: for many residents, that is where the commute starts.

The village has grown with detached and semi-detached houses and small blocks on the edge of the centre, and the market includes both these recent homes and old courtyard houses and farmsteads to restore. The land is entirely flat; the things to look at are the irrigation ditches and canals, which the report assesses with the official flood maps for the address. With farmhouses, also check the roofs, walls and foundations before estimating the work.

According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 2,976 residents in 2023, up 1.7% since 2011. The average age is 44.8, slightly below the provincial 45.2; over-65s are 21.6% and foreign nationals 11.1%. Declared incomes are a little below the Bergamo average.

The municipality is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.102 g. The level is moderate, but for older brick buildings it is worth asking the year of construction and whether any structural work has been done. Winters are climate zone E, damp and foggy: insulation and the boiler make a difference to bills.
