The report looks at the exact point: landslide and flood risk, seismic zone, price per square metre for the area, services and nearby stops.

For example: Via Roma 2, Spinadesco.

Spinadesco, the plain where the Adda meets the Po

Spinadesco covers a stretch of the low Cremona plain west of the city, in the area where the river Adda flows into the Po. Fields, poplar plantations, embankments and farmsteads shape the landscape, and Cremona is close enough to be the everyday town for work, secondary schools, the hospital and shopping.

With two large rivers alongside, water is the first issue to look at. The lower areas and those near the embankments behave differently from the village centre, and the report checks the official flood maps for the address. It is always worth asking the seller whether the cellar or ground floor has ever flooded. In the open public transport timetables there are no railway stops in the municipality (0), so trains are caught in Cremona.

There were 1,431 residents in 2023, down 9.1% on the 1,575 of 2011. The average age is 47.8, slightly above the provincial 46.8, and over-65s make up 24.8%. Foreign residents account for 11.9%.

All 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona are in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale. In Spinadesco the expected ground acceleration is 0.081 g, a moderate hazard. For a converted farmhouse or a house from the 1960s, the state of the roof, rising damp and the efficiency of the heating and electrics matter most.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality, and the report traces the land parcel from the address and measures the distance to schools and pharmacies.
