Redavalle, where the plain meets the Oltrepò hills

Redavalle lies in the Oltrepò Pavese, the part of the province of Pavia south of the river Po, at the point where the plain gives way to the first hills planted with vines. The village stretches along the road between Broni and Casteggio, with houses lined up on the main street and fields starting right behind them.

People here travel a lot: work, secondary schools, the hospital and bigger shops are in nearby Oltrepò towns, in Voghera, Stradella or Pavia, and for those working further away, being close to the main roads across the plain matters. On the market you will find terraced and detached houses, old farmhouses and homes along the road, where traffic is the first thing to judge with a visit at rush hour. The climate zone is E, with cold and often damp winters.

In 2023 there were 999 residents, down 5.4% on the 1,056 of 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 48.9, against 47.1 in the province, and over-65s make up 29.9%. Foreign residents account for 16.1%, and declared incomes are close to the provincial average, just below it.

Redavalle is in seismic zone 3, like 157 of the 184 municipalities in the province of Pavia, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.091 g. The hazard is moderate; in a farmhouse or an older house, the roof, damp and the systems matter more.

The cadastre is published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate), and the report goes from the address to the plot. Between the plain and the first hills, the same street can face different flood and landslide conditions, so the official maps need reading at the exact spot where the house stands.
