San Daniele Po, between the banks of the great river

San Daniele Po is a village in the low plain of the province of Cremona that lives beside the Po, on the stretch between Cremona and Casalmaggiore. The houses stand behind the main flood embankment; beyond it lies the floodplain, with poplar plantations, fields and old river channels down to the water. The landscape is farming plain: farmsteads, rows of trees, straight roads. Cremona, for work, the hospital and secondary schools, is reached by car.

For buyers, the river is the first thing to consider. The embankments protect the village, but the distance from the Po and the height of the ground vary from house to house: the report checks the official flood maps for the address, and that is the first check to make, before even looking at the finishes. In old brick houses, rising damp is another point to check.

The village is small and ageing. In 2023 there were 1,256 residents, down 11.5% on the 1,419 of 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 49.9, against 46.8 in the province, and over-65s are 30.9% (25.3% around Cremona). Foreign residents are 11.2%. Declared incomes are a little below the provincial average.

On earthquakes the province of Cremona is uniform: all 113 of its municipalities are in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification. In San Daniele Po the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.084 g, a low value.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report traces the plot from the address, with distances to the pharmacy, schools and shops.
