Pandino, a Visconti castle in the Crema countryside

The castle built by the Visconti family in the fourteenth century stands at the heart of Pandino, a farming town on the plain north-west of Crema, towards the river Adda and close to the borders with the provinces of Milan and Lodi. Around the main town are the hamlets of Nosadello and Gradella and a landscape of farmsteads, irrigation channels and fields.

Buyers often come looking for a house with a garden at lower prices than the Milan suburbs, and work between Crema, Lodi and south-east Milan. There is no railway in town, so people travel by car or bus; time the journey to work at rush hour before deciding. Restored cascine, the old farmsteads, are a common choice, but check the roofs, rising damp in ground-floor walls and the insulation.

At the end of 2023 Pandino had 8,905 residents according to Istat, the national statistics office, almost the same as in 2011 (up 0.2%), making it number 6 by population of the 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona. The estimated average age is 46.2, slightly below the province, and foreign residents make up 12.2%. Declared incomes are a little under the provincial average.

Every municipality in the province of Cremona is in seismic zone 3, and in Pandino the expected ground acceleration is about 0.080 g, a low value. Climate zone E means cold, foggy winters, so a home's energy rating will affect your bills more than the earthquake hazard.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report works back from the address to the land parcel. On a plain crossed by irrigation channels and close to the Adda, flood hazard is checked at the exact location of the house.
