Pozzuolo Martesana and Trecella, on the line to Treviglio
For many people who live in Pozzuolo Martesana the day starts at the station. The municipality lies on the plain east of Milan, between Melzo and Cassano d'Adda, and the railway to Treviglio stops both in the main village and in the hamlet of Trecella. Trenord's open timetables list 2 stops served by 3 lines, with trains running into Milan. The report shows for every address how far the nearest station is.
Around the village the countryside is still made of farmsteads, irrigation ditches and maize fields, with business areas along the main roads. Homes for sale are mostly detached and terraced houses and small blocks of flats from recent decades; in the old farm courtyards of the centre there are flats converted from rural buildings.
The village is growing: 8,623 residents in 2023, up 8.0% since 2011. The average age is 45.4, in line with the Milan metropolitan area (45.6); 21.3% are over 65 and foreign nationals make up 9.8%. Declared incomes are below the Milan average, which the city itself pushes up. Cafés and restaurants are few, 2.32 per 1,000 residents against 4.39, and for many services people go to Melzo.
In the province of Milan, 60 municipalities are in seismic zone 3 and 73 in zone 4. Pozzuolo is in zone 3, with expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.078 g, a low value. For a flat, the condition of the building, the service charges and the energy rating matter more, and with the cold winters on the plain the rating shows in the heating bills.
The plain here is crossed by irrigation channels, and cellars and underground garages deserve a careful look, especially after heavy rain. The report checks the official flood maps for the address and finds the parcel on the cadastral maps.
