Rudiano, on the Brescia bank of the river Oglio

The river Oglio runs along the western edge of Rudiano, and here it forms the border between the provinces of Brescia and Bergamo. The town sits on the irrigated plain of western lowland Brescia, among maize fields, farmsteads and irrigation channels, and along the river the land is part of the Oglio Nord park. Chiari, the largest town nearby, is about ten minutes away.

This is a municipality of young families. Istat, the national statistics office, gives an average age of 42.3 against 45.4 for the province, with over-65s at 19.4%, and households of 2.66 people on average, more than in most of Lombardy. There were 5,921 residents in 2023, up 3.9% since 2011, and foreign residents make up 15.2%. Average incomes are below the provincial figure.

No railway runs through the municipality. The nearest stations are in the towns on the Brescia to Milan line, and most journeys are made by car. The market consists of detached and terraced houses and low-rise blocks, with a few converted farmsteads. The report shows the local value range for the address you choose.

Rudiano is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 153 municipalities in the province, while another 52 are in zone 2. Expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.131 g. In the masonry houses of the centre and in farmsteads, the state of roofs and floors matters; for recent houses, the structural design.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report traces the land parcel from the address. Near the Oglio and the irrigation channels, flood hazard varies a great deal from one street to the next, so check it for the individual address before buying.
