Sartirana Lomellina, a castle and rice fields near Piedmont

In western Lomellina, a few kilometres from the border with Piedmont, Sartirana Lomellina is a village on the plain surrounded by rice fields. At its heart stands the castle, whose brick towers are the village's best-known landmark; around it lies a centre of courtyard houses and, on the edges, newer homes. The village has a railway stop, handy for reaching Mortara and other towns in Lomellina.

Buyers will mostly find detached houses with yards, farmsteads and low blocks of flats. The plain is crossed by channels and ditches, and closeness to a watercourse needs checking plot by plot: the report looks at the official flood maps for the address. In older houses, rising damp is the most common defect to budget for.

The population is older and shrinking. According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 1,498 residents in 2023, down 14.9% on 2011; the average age is 52.4, against 47.1 for the province of Pavia, and over-65s make up 34.5%. Foreign residents account for 8.0%. Declared incomes are a little below the provincial average.

Sartirana is in seismic zone 4, like 27 municipalities in the province, while the rest are in zone 3. The expected ground acceleration is 0.046 g, a low value.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for the whole municipality.
