Mozzanica, on the Serio river at the edge of the Crema area

Mozzanica is one of the southernmost villages in the province of Bergamo, on the bank of the Serio river, where the Bergamo plain meets the Crema area. The river runs through the woods and meadows of the regional park that protects it, while fields, farmsteads and a few industrial areas spread around the village.

People who choose to live here are usually looking for a detached or semi-detached house at lower prices than in the suburbs of Bergamo and Milan, and accept that they will drive for almost everything. Treviglio, Crema and Caravaggio are the nearest towns for railway stations, secondary schools and hospitals. In the village the data lists 28 services, enough for daily needs.

There are 4,386 residents, down 4.1% on 2011. The average age is 44.8, slightly below the province (45.2), over-65s make up 21.8% and households have 2.45 members on average. Foreign residents account for 9.2%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

The river is the issue to look at if you buy in the lower parts of the village. The report reads the official flood maps for the Serio and the canals at the exact address and measures the elevation of the ground. In farmsteads and older houses near the river, also check for damp in walls and cellars.

On earthquakes, all 243 municipalities in the province of Bergamo are in zone 3; here the expected ground acceleration is about 0.112 g. The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are published and the report goes from the address to the plot.
