Robecco sul Naviglio, canal-side villas and the Ticino valley
The Naviglio Grande, the canal that has carried water from the river Ticino to Milan for centuries, runs straight through Robecco sul Naviglio. Along its banks stand several of the country villas that Milanese noble families built beside the waterway. Magenta lies just to the north and Abbiategrasso a little further south along the canal. To the west the land drops into the Ticino valley, inside the regional park that protects the woods, meadows and fields along the river. Besides the main village there are smaller farming hamlets such as Casterno and Carpenzago.
People who work in Milan usually take the train from Magenta, on the line towards Novara and Turin, a few minutes away by car. The most sought-after homes are near the canal, often old farmhouses or restored buildings, alongside the detached houses of more recent estates. Declared incomes are below the average for the province of Milan, although that average is pulled up by the city itself.
The population has barely moved: 6,810 residents in 2023, 32 fewer than the 6,842 counted at the 2011 census. The average age is 46.2, slightly above the province (45.6); over-65s make up 23.3% and foreign residents 5.3%.
On earthquakes, the municipality is in seismic zone 4, the lowest class in the national map drawn up by the Civil Protection department, like 72 other municipalities in the province. The expected ground acceleration is about 0.040 g. In an older house near the water, damp walls, the roof and the wiring and plumbing matter more: have a surveyor look at them before you sign.
In the river valley and along the canals, flood hazard varies from one spot to the next, and the report checks it for the exact address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps here, so the report can trace an address to its plot.

Overview
Robecco sul Naviglio is a municipality in the province of Milano, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 6,810 residents, ranked 85 of 133 municipalities in the province.
Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Robecco sul Naviglio is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (73 of 133) are in the same zone.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.040 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.
Population
Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 46 years, in line with the province. 23% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 5.3% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.
