Persico Dosimo, two villages in the Cremona countryside

The name says how the municipality is made up: Persico and Dosimo are its two main villages, joined in a single municipality on the plain north-east of Cremona. All around lies the Cremona countryside, flat and orderly, with fields of maize and fodder, livestock farms, farmsteads and rows of trees along irrigation canals.

The city is close, and many residents work there or go there for schools and services, driving along the provincial roads. The market offers detached houses, recent terraced homes and farmsteads, some restored and others still tied to farming. For buyers who want space and a garden, it is an alternative to the city with short journey times. No public transport appears in the open timetables, so weigh up the distance to Cremona carefully.

There were 3,267 residents in 2023, down 3.1% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 45.5 is lower than the 46.8 of the province of Cremona, and over-65s are 22.1% against 25.3%. Foreign residents make up 7.7%. Average declared income is in line with the province.

All 113 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification; here the expected acceleration is about 0.084 g. In farmsteads and barns turned into homes, the quality of the masonry and of the ties between walls and floors makes the difference, and it should be checked.

On an irrigated plain, groundwater and canals affect damp and flood hazard: the report checks the official maps for the address and finds the parcel on the published cadastral maps.
