Mornico Losana, a ridge-top village in the Oltrepò Pavese
Vineyards on the slopes, roads that follow the ridges and small clusters of houses on the hilltops: Mornico Losana has the typical landscape of the Oltrepò Pavese, the band of hills south of the river Po that belongs to the province of Pavia. Below, on the plain, run the railway and the roads linking Voghera, Casteggio and Stradella.
The name itself joins two places, and the municipality is made up of several clusters and farmhouses spread across the land rather than a single centre. For a buyer, the specific location needs careful choosing: an isolated rural building among the vines offers space and views, but needs a car for every trip and checks on access, water and drainage. Many homes are old brick and stone farmhouses, often in need of work.
The population is ageing and shrinking. In 2023 there were 600 residents, 121 fewer than the 721 of 2011, a fall of 16.8%. Over-65s make up 31.8% of residents, against 25.2% in the province, and the average age is 51.4. Foreign nationals account for 9.5%, while declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.
For earthquakes the municipality is in zone 3, like 156 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of around 0.092 g. The hazard is moderate, but in an old farmhouse it is worth having walls and floors checked before planning any work.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are available, and the report traces the address to its land parcel. On a hill it matters exactly where the house stands, on the ridge or halfway down the slope: the report compares it with the official landslide maps.
