Pagazzano, a moated castle on the Bergamo plain

Pagazzano's castle, its moat still full of water, is the heart of the village and the reason many people know it. Around it lies the flat lower Bergamo plain, with fields, farmhouses and industrial buildings, Treviglio a short distance away and Bergamo and Milan within commuting reach.

House hunters will mainly find detached and terraced houses and small blocks of flats built in recent decades, plus a few courtyard houses in the old core around the castle. If you work in Milan, Treviglio station is a few minutes' drive away. Declared incomes are slightly below the average for the province of Bergamo, and a large share of the land is built on, as in much of the Lombardy plain.

The population is young by Italian standards. Istat, Italy's national statistics office, counted 2,131 residents in 2023, up 2.4% on 2011. The mean age is 44.2, below the provincial 45.2; over-65s make up 21.8% and foreign residents 14.4%. Households have 2.46 members on average.

All 243 municipalities in the province of Bergamo are in seismic zone 3. In Pagazzano the expected ground acceleration is 0.115 g: in courtyard houses look at how walls and floors are tied together, in newer ones at the energy rating.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps. The report traces the land parcel from the address, shows the local price band and measures distances to schools, pharmacies and supermarkets.
