Rivarolo del Re ed Uniti, Casalasco plain by the Po

Rivarolo del Re ed Uniti is a municipality in the Casalasco, the south-eastern corner of the province of Cremona, on the plain between the Oglio and the Po. The village is just over twenty metres above sea level, surrounded by farmland, rows of poplars and farmsteads; Casalmaggiore is the nearest reference town, and Cremona and Mantua are less than an hour away by car.

Buyers here find village houses with courtyards, farmsteads (cascine) to restore and detached houses built in recent decades. Cascine offer a great deal of space but require careful checks on the permitted use of the farm buildings and the condition of the roofs. For a family, the practical question is the distance to secondary schools, the hospital and shops, which is worth measuring from the chosen house.

There were 1,833 residents in 2023, down 11.7% on 2011. Foreign residents make up 10.8%, largely linked to farm and factory work in the area. The average age is 47.8 against 46.8 in the province, and over-65s account for 27.0%.

All 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona are in seismic zone 3, a moderate hazard; here the expected ground acceleration is 0.075 g. In older brick houses it is still worth checking the load-bearing walls and the roof.

On a plain of rivers and canals, water is the main issue. From the address, the report identifies the land parcel on the Revenue Agency cadastral maps and checks the official flood hazard maps for that spot.
