Montirone, the Brescia lowlands on the edge of the city

South of Brescia the plain begins straight away, and Montirone is one of the towns you pass heading towards Ghedi, among fields, farmsteads and workshops. The town is home to Villa Lechi, a large eighteenth-century villa and the best-known historic house in the municipality. Otherwise it is a residential town on the plain, where many people work in Brescia or for firms in the lowlands to the south.

Compared with many of its neighbours, Montirone has one advantage: a railway stop on the line running south from Brescia. In the public transport timetables the town is served by train lines (1) and bus lines (1), and the report measures the distance to the nearest stop for each address. Otherwise people drive, with the city a few minutes away.

The population has barely moved, with a change of +0.4% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office: 5,063 residents in 2023. The average age is 43.1, against 45.4 in the province of Brescia, and over-65s make up 18.1% compared with 22.8%. Households have 2.38 people on average and foreign residents account for 8.1%.

The Civil Protection Department places the municipality in seismic zone 3, like 152 other municipalities in the province, while 52 are in zone 2. The expected ground acceleration is about 0.146 g. For a house or block of flats from the 1970s or 1980s, ask for the structural design and look at the energy rating and systems, which often weigh more than the price.

The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps and the report identifies the land parcel from the address. The plain is crossed by irrigation channels, and flood hazard depends on the exact position of the house, which the report checks for the address.
