Pusiano, a lakeside village in the Brianza

Pusiano looks out over the lake that shares its name, one of the Brianza lakes between Como and Lecco, with the Isola dei Cipressi just off the shore. The village is small and compact, with older houses near the water and newer ones on the slopes behind. Erba is close by, and from there roads lead on to Como, Lecco and Milan.

People who buy here generally want the lake within walking distance while keeping the jobs and services of the Brianza, the busy area north of Milan. The village has few shops of its own, so for most things you go to the neighbouring towns. There are detached houses, village houses and flats in small blocks; for homes near the shore, look at damp and the condition of the foundations. Average declared incomes are above the average for the province of Como.

There are 1,310 residents (2023), a nearly stable figure: the fall since 2011 is 1.3%. The average age, 46.6, matches the province (46.3), and over-65s are 24.0%. Foreign residents make up 4.4%. Households have 2.13 members on average.

All 147 municipalities in the province of Como are in seismic zone 4, the lowest class, and the expected acceleration here is 0.048 g. More than earthquakes, what matters is the state of the systems and roof, and energy efficiency in a climate with cold winters (climate zone E).

The lakeshore and the slopes above the village need to be looked at one by one. The report traces the address to its land parcel on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) maps and checks the official flood and landslide maps for that plot.

Key points

  • Village on Lake Pusiano, between Como and Lecco.

Overview

Pusiano is a municipality in the province of Como, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 1,310 residents, ranked 93 of 147 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Pusiano is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 147 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.048 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
