Redondesco, Mantua farmland between Mantua and Asola

On the plain west of Mantua, on the road towards Asola and the Brescia area, Redondesco is a village of fields, cattle sheds and courtyard farmhouses. The land is flat, at around 30 metres above sea level, crossed by canals and drainage ditches; Mantua is within driving distance, and for many services people use the larger towns nearby.

The population has changed in recent years. There were 1,213 residents in 2023, down 9.1% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office, and foreign residents make up 11.5%. The average age is 48.5 against 46.4 in the province of Mantua; over-65s are 29.0% (24.4% in the province). Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Houses are almost all independent: village houses, detached homes and farmhouses, some still with their barn and hayloft. The climate zone is E, with muggy summers, cold winters and fog, so insulation matters in both seasons. In older buildings rising damp in the walls is a common defect and should be checked before buying.

Redondesco is in seismic zone 3 of the national classification, like 59 of the 64 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.091 g. The values are moderate, but for a farm building with solid brick walls and timber floors a structural check is always worthwhile.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report finds the land parcel from the address. On an irrigated plain like this one, flood hazard is checked on the official maps for each house.

Key points

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Redondesco is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (59 of 64) are in the same zone.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
