Soresina, dairy country on the Cremona plain

Outside the province, most people know the name Soresina from packs of butter, provolone and Grana Padano cheese: this is the home of Latteria Soresina, one of Italy's large dairy cooperatives. It tells you what kind of place this is, a town that grew around farming and livestock on the plain between Cremona and Crema, where farmsteads and fields reach right up to the last houses.

With 9,063 residents at the end of 2023, Soresina is among the larger towns of the province and serves as a local centre for the surrounding villages. It also has a railway station: in Trenord's open timetables the municipality has 1 stop served by 1 line, plus buses, and the report measures how far it is from any address.

Homes for sale are mostly in the centre, often old courtyard houses and small blocks of flats, with detached houses in the newer areas. Out in the countryside you will find old farm buildings to restore, large and cheap, although renovation and the cost of connecting utilities can easily exceed the purchase price.

Since 2011 the population has grown only slightly, up 0.8% according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 45.6, a little below the provincial 46.8, and 25.1% of residents are over 65. Foreign residents account for 23.0%, a very high share in an area where cattle farms and dairies provide a lot of work. Declared incomes are below the Cremona average.

Earthquake hazard is moderate: all 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona are in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, and expected ground acceleration in Soresina is about 0.093 g. In older houses the roof, rising damp and the state of the wiring and plumbing matter more. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report goes from the address to the plot and checks the flood maps there.
