Montodine, where the Serio meets the Adda

The Serio river ends its course right here, flowing into the Adda, and Montodine has always lived between the two. It is a village on the plain south of Crema, with its centre gathered around the church, farmland all around and strips of woodland and meadow along the riverbanks.

Homes are mostly detached houses, restored farmhouses and small villas, with a few small blocks of flats. Crema is the town people rely on for schools, work and services, a few minutes away by car, and Lodi and Cremona are within reasonable reach. For houses near the rivers, look carefully at the location: the report checks the official flood maps at the address.

Istat, the national statistics institute, counts 2,441 residents in 2023, down 6.3% on 2011. The average age is 46.9, almost the same as the 46.8 of the province of Cremona. Over-65s make up 25.2%, foreign residents 5.8%, and declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

The seismic zone is 3, as for 112 other municipalities in the province, with an expected acceleration of 0.081 g. In farmhouses and older homes, check the roof, the timber beams and the walls, as well as the rising damp that is common on low-lying land near water.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report starts from the address to find the land parcel and measure distances to services.
