Nibionno, a Brianza village towards the Como side
Nibionno belongs to the hilly Brianza, the densely built area between Milan and the lakes, in the western part of the province of Lecco where it blends into the Como area. It is a place of houses and industrial sheds more than countryside: land take is very high for a village of this size, and the built-up area spreads across old hamlets, estates of detached houses and business zones.
People who move here usually work in Brianza, in Lecco, in Como or around Milan. The Valassina expressway, the SS36 linking Milan and Lecco, runs close by. Open public transport data show no stops in the municipality, so a car is the norm for daily travel. Basic services exist but are limited: 3 school sites and 1 official pharmacy, and for a big shop people drive to neighbouring towns.
In 2023 there were 3,578 residents, down 1.4% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is a little younger than the provincial average, with an average age of 45.5 against 46.6 and over-65s at 23.4% against 25.2%. Foreign residents account for 8.3%. Average declared incomes are below those of the province of Lecco.
Earthquake risk is calm. Nibionno is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department scale (the national emergency agency), like 63 other municipalities in the province, but the expected acceleration is low, about 0.050 g. In a house from the 1970s or 1980s, insulation, windows and the heating system matter more, in climate zone E with cold winters.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report finds the plot from the address. In such a built-up area it is worth checking nearby busy roads and business sites as well as the flood and landslide maps for the exact spot.
