Romanengo, Crema plain of irrigation ditches and farms

Romanengo is a village on the plain around Crema, in the northern part of Cremona province, north east of Crema itself. The land is flat and crossed by irrigation ditches and canals, with maize fields, farmsteads and a compact centre around the parish church. Crema is the nearest town for secondary schools, hospital and railway station, while Milan and Bergamo are reached by car.

The population is growing. Istat, the national statistics office, counts 3,220 residents in 2023, up 6.6% on 2011. It is young by Cremona standards, with an average age of 44.2 against 46.8 in the province and 20.4% over 65. Foreign residents make up 13.4%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

The market consists of detached and terraced houses and flats in small blocks, alongside old courtyard houses to restore. People moving in often want more space and a garden, knowing they will need a car for almost everything. On an irrigated plain like this, check the flood maps for the ditches and canals and look for damp in cellars. The report checks the flood maps for the address.

All 113 municipalities in Cremona province are in seismic zone 3, and in Romanengo the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.106 g. The risk is moderate. In older courtyard houses, ask about the roof and walls; in newer buildings, the energy rating, since climate zone E brings cold, foggy winters.
