San Giorgio di Lomellina, a village among the rice fields
In summer the rice fields of the Lomellina are flooded, and the landscape around San Giorgio di Lomellina becomes a sheet of water divided by embankments, rows of trees and country lanes. The village is one of the small farming centres on this plain, in the western part of the province of Pavia, with its historic core around the church and the large courtyards of the farmhouses.
Mortara and Vigevano are the Lomellina's main towns for the hospital, secondary schools, shops and trains, and Pavia and Milan remain within reach for those who work there, always starting out by car. The market offers detached houses with courtyards, modern homes and old farmhouses, sometimes very large, which need major work on roofs, floors and systems. The climate zone is E: foggy, damp winters and hot summers, with mosquitoes from the rice fields.
The population is older and shrinking: 987 residents in 2023, 14.5% fewer than in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 51.6, against 47.1 in the province, and over-65s make up 32.1%, compared with 25.2%. Foreign residents are 4.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
Earthquake hazard is low: San Giorgio di Lomellina is in seismic zone 4, like 27 of the 184 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.048 g. In farmhouses and older homes, rising damp, the roof and heating costs matter more.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report traces the plot from the address. Among irrigation canals and flooded fields, the official flood maps should be checked at the exact spot of the house, not as a figure for the municipality.
