Sirone, the low hills of the Lecco Brianza

Among the low hills of the Lecco part of Brianza, south-west of Lecco, Sirone is one of those villages where countryside and housing meet. The old core is small; around it detached houses, semi-detached homes and a few small blocks have grown up, with meadows and patches of woodland separating the village from its neighbours. Even so, a good part of the land is built on, as almost everywhere in Brianza.

Residents usually work elsewhere: Lecco, the more industrial parts of Brianza, Como and the Milan area. No public transport lines are listed for the municipality in the published timetables, so work out journey times by car and use the report to see how far the nearest stations and stops are from the address. The village has 2 schools, 1 pharmacy and 1 supermarket.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,348 residents (2023), down 1.8% from 2,391 in 2011. The population is a little younger than the provincial average: the average age is 45.2 against 46.6, over-65s 22.0% against 25.2%. Foreign residents make up 6.6%. Average incomes are below those of the province of Lecco.

Earthquake risk is low: Sirone is in seismic zone 3 under the Civil Protection classification, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.054 g, and no municipality in the province of Lecco is in the two highest classes. In a house from the 1970s or 1980s, insulation, windows and heating matter most: climate zone E brings cold, damp winters.

For a plot near a stream or on low ground, the report checks the official flood maps at the exact spot. The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps cover the municipality.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
