Pessina Cremonese, open farmland on the Po plain

Fields as far as the eye can see, rows of trees along the ditches and courtyard farmsteads: Pessina Cremonese is a small farming municipality on the Cremona plain, some forty metres above sea level. The village is gathered around the church and square, and the rest of the land is given over to fields and farms.

Residents often work in the larger towns of the province and get around by car: Cremona is the reference point for the hospital, secondary schools and offices. Homes on offer are usually detached houses with a yard, small villas and parts of converted farmsteads. With these buildings it is worth checking rising damp, insulation and the heating and electrics, and for a farmstead also the distance from working barns and livestock units.

The population has fallen to 555 residents in 2023, against 673 in 2011, a drop of 17.5%. The average age is 50.2, compared with 46.8 in the province of Cremona, and over-65s make up 31.4%. Foreign residents account for 14.8%, and households average 2.35 people. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

All 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona are in seismic zone 3; the expected acceleration in Pessina is about 0.088 g, a modest value. On the plain, water is the thing to check: the network of canals and ditches and the area's watercourses appear on the official flood maps, which the report reads for the address.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for Pessina Cremonese too, and the report links the address to the plot.
