Pumenengo, on the Oglio in the lower Bergamo plain

Pumenengo is a village in the Bassa Bergamasca, the lowland at the south-eastern tip of the province of Bergamo, close to the river Oglio. The countryside is the irrigated Lombard plain, with maize fields, farmsteads and rows of trees along the ditches. The village has a compact centre around the church and streets of detached houses built in recent decades.

For work, many people commute by car to Bergamo, Brescia, Crema or the industrial areas of the plain. Buyers here usually want a detached house with a garden or a flat in a small block. In houses closer to the river, look carefully at the flood maps and at damp in basements. Incomes are below the average for the province of Bergamo.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,706 residents in 2023, up 0.6% on 2011, so essentially stable. The average age is 44.4 against 45.2 in the province, over-65s are 22.3% and foreign residents 12.3%. Households have 2.53 members on average.

All 243 municipalities in the province of Bergamo are in seismic zone 3. In Pumenengo the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.129 g. In brick plain-country houses, often extended over time, ask how the added sections were joined to the original building.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are available and the report traces the address to the plot. The difference between a house near the Oglio and one in the village centre shows up in the official flood maps read for that point.
