Quinzano d'Oglio, farmsteads on the Cremona border

Quinzano d'Oglio is the last town in the province of Brescia before the river: on the other bank of the Oglio the province of Cremona begins. The land is irrigated plain, with farmsteads, maize fields, meadows and irrigation ditches, and along the river a strip of woodland and floodplain that belongs to the Oglio Nord park.

Brescia is about thirty kilometres to the north-east and Cremona a similar distance to the south; Orzinuovi and Verolanuova are the nearest towns of any size. There is no railway station, and people who work in the cities drive.

In the town you find courtyard houses, farm buildings converted into homes and newer villas. The farmsteads offer a lot of space at often modest prices, but they need major work on roofs, wiring, heating and insulation, in a climate that is zone E on the Italian scale, with cold, foggy winters. Near the Oglio flood exposure can change within a few metres, and the report checks it on the official maps for the individual address.

Istat, the national statistics institute, counted 6,240 residents in 2023, down 2.3% since 2011: out of 205 municipalities in the province, Quinzano ranks number 61 by population. The average age is 45.9, a touch above the provincial figure, and foreign residents make up 13.0%, a high share partly linked to work on farms and in livestock. Average incomes are below the provincial level.

The province of Brescia has 52 municipalities in seismic zone 2, mostly towards the mountains and Lake Garda, and the rest in zone 3, on the Civil Protection scale where 1 is the highest hazard. Quinzano is in zone 3, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.113 g. In farmhouses with solid brick walls and large haylofts, have the roofs and the joints between walls and floors checked before planning a renovation.
