Montanaso Lombardo, living on the edge of Lodi

Lodi is so close that many residents treat Montanaso Lombardo almost as an outer district of the town. The village lies on the plain north-east of Lodi, at about eighty metres, among fields, irrigation ditches and farmsteads, with the Adda not far away. In recent decades it has grown mainly through new housing for families working in Lodi or around Milan.

The housing stock reflects that growth: small villas, terraced houses and small blocks of flats, often recent, alongside a few farm courtyards in the old core and the hamlets. For Milan, people take the train from Lodi, which also has the hospital, secondary schools and services. In low-lying spots, check cellars and underground garages for damp.

Istat, Italy's national statistics office, shows a stable village: 2,236 residents in 2023, up 0.2% on 2011. The average age of 46.7 is slightly above the 45.4 of the province of Lodi, over-65s are 24.2% and foreign residents 4.0%. Declared incomes are well above the provincial average.

The municipality is in seismic zone 3 on the scale kept by the Protezione Civile (Civil Protection Department), like 59 other municipalities in the province, with an expected acceleration of 0.068 g. For a building a few decades old, a general check by a surveyor is enough.

With the Adda and the irrigation canals nearby, the official flood maps are useful, and the report for the address shows them for the exact spot.
