Mulazzano, springs and farmsteads on the Lodi and Milan border

Mulazzano fills the northern corner of the province of Lodi, where it meets the Milan area: it borders Paullo, Dresano and Tribiano on one side and Tavazzano, Montanaso and Zelo Buon Persico on the other. The land is flat, irrigated plain dotted with fontanili, the natural springs that feed the irrigation ditches, and with farmsteads. Besides the main village, the municipality includes Quartiano, Cassino d'Alberi and several smaller localities in the countryside.

This is commuter country. Lodi and the south-eastern outskirts of Milan are a short drive away, the Paullese main road runs close by, and the stations on the Milan to Lodi railway are in neighbouring towns such as Tavazzano. Buyers mostly find detached houses and small blocks of flats built in recent decades, plus converted farmhouses. Declared incomes are in line with the province and the climate zone is E, with frequent winter fog.

In 2023 there were 5,821 residents, 1.5% more than in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office; by population, Mulazzano ranks number 8 of the 60 municipalities in the province. The average age is 44.8 (provincially 45.4), over-65s are 20.2% and foreign residents 9.5%. Services are thin on the ground: Overture's maps list 18 in all, from schools and healthcare to shops and cafés, including 7 bars and restaurants, so the weekly shop often means leaving town.

The whole province of Lodi is in seismic zone 3 on the scale of the Protezione Civile (Italy's Civil Protection Department). In Mulazzano, expected acceleration is about 0.064 g, a low value, and for the house itself insulation, windows and damp in ground-floor walls weigh more.

Where water from the springs and ditches runs close to houses, flood hazard should be checked at the address, as it should for any underground rooms. The report does this starting from the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, which are available for the municipality.
