For example: Via dei Platani 1, Moscazzano.

Moscazzano, in the Crema area along the Serio

Moscazzano is a village in the Crema area, on the plain close to the Serio, the river that crosses the Crema district before flowing into the Adda. Around it are fields, rows of trees along the canals and the green spaces of the river park. Crema, the reference town for work, schools and hospital, is a short drive away.

For buyers, the river is the first thing to consider. The lower areas near the Serio and the canals can fall within flood hazard zones: the report reads the official maps for the address and gives the class for the individual plot. Properties are detached houses, villas from recent decades and farmsteads, some needing restoration.

The fall in residents is marked: 694 in 2023, 128 fewer than the 822 of 2011 (down 15.6%). The average age is 49.3 against 46.8 in the province of Cremona, and over-65s make up 29.5% against 25.3%. Average declared income is below the provincial level.

All 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona are in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection (Protezione Civile) classification, and in Moscazzano the expected ground acceleration is about 0.080 g. On the Po plain, loose soils can amplify shaking: for an older house, ask an engineer how the foundations, walls and floors are built.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes Moscazzano's cadastral maps, and the report traces the address to its land parcel, handy for understanding the boundaries of farmsteads and land.
