Morimondo, a Cistercian abbey in the Ticino Park

The Cistercian abbey of Morimondo, founded in the 12th century by monks from France, is the heart of this small municipality in the countryside south-west of Milan. Around the village lie rice fields, farmland, farmsteads and the woods of the Ticino valley, inside the Ticino Park, and Milan is reached by car via Abbiategrasso.

The market consists of renovated farmsteads, village houses, villas and a few rustic buildings to restore, often with park rules to follow for building work and extensions. The 20 bars and restaurants on record also serve visitors to the abbey. Average declared income is well below that of the province of Milan.

In 2023 there were 1,010 residents, according to Istat, the national statistics office, down 14.6% on 2011. The average age is 48.5 against 45.6 in the metropolitan area, over-65s make up 27.7% and foreign residents 3.9%. Households have 2.33 members on average.

Earthquake hazard is low: Morimondo is in seismic zone 4, like 73 municipalities in the province, while the other 60 are in zone 3. The expected ground acceleration is 0.045 g. In a farmstead, the roof, damp in the walls and the state of the heating and electrics matter more.

Near the Ticino, the first check is about water: the report reads the official flood hazard maps for the address and finds the land parcel with the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, published for the municipality.

Overview

Morimondo is a municipality in the province of Milano, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 1,010 residents, among the smallest in the province (132 of 133).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Morimondo 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 0.045 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

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 14.6%. The estimated average age is 48 years, higher than the province average (46). 28% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 3.9% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

Radon and contaminated sites

Morimondo is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Lombardia in 2023. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

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 27 inhabited census areas in Morimondo. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 63 or more.
