San Rocco al Porto, on the Po opposite Piacenza
At the southern tip of the province of Lodi, where the Lombard plain reaches the river Po, San Rocco al Porto looks across the river at Piacenza. The name recalls the old river port, and the town has always been tied to the Po crossing. Today Piacenza is a few minutes away, and the A1 motorway and the Via Emilia towards Lodi and Milan pass close by: for many residents the city of reference is Piacenza, in Emilia-Romagna, rather than their own provincial capital.
The land is flat, with fields, poplar plantations and farmsteads, and a built-up area that has grown along the main roads. Buyers find detached houses, family homes and blocks of flats from recent decades, and farmsteads in the countryside. The open public transport data list no stops in the municipality, and the report measures the real distances from the address to schools and shops.
There were 3,381 residents in 2023, down 2.4% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 46.2, slightly above 45.4 for the province of Lodi, and over-65s make up 23.9%. Foreign nationals are 11.0%. Average incomes are below the provincial average.
All 60 municipalities in the province of Lodi are in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, and here the expected ground acceleration is about 0.088 g. In older houses, the roof, the heating and electrics and the insulation matter most.
With the Po so close, it helps to know where the house stands in relation to the embankments: the report looks up the official flood maps for the exact address. Cadastral maps from the Revenue Agency are available.
