Pozzaglio ed Uniti, farmsteads north of Cremona
The name explains how the municipality came about: Pozzaglio ed Uniti ("Pozzaglio and united villages") brings together several places in the Cremona countryside, north of the city, on a plain of fields, tree rows and farmsteads. There is no single large centre but a series of small settlements close together, each with its own houses and church. Cremona is a short drive away and is the reference for work, schools and the hospital.
Buyers mostly find detached houses, small villas and farmhouses, either restored or in need of work. With a farmhouse, look closely at the roofs, barns, structural condition and the cost of making it habitable all year round. In the open public transport timetables the municipality has no railway stops (0), so a car is essential.
The population is falling only slightly: 1,429 residents in 2023, 2.9% fewer than in 2011. It is a fairly young community, with an average age of 44.8 against 46.8 in the province, and over-65s at 20.5% against 25.3%. Foreign residents account for 9.0%.
For earthquakes the province is uniform: the 113 municipalities around Cremona are all in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, and expected ground acceleration in Pozzaglio is 0.087 g. In brick farm buildings, the ties between walls and roof and the work done over the years are what count.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published, and the report finds the land parcel from the address. On a plain crossed by irrigation ditches and canals, flood hazard depends on the individual address.
