Stezzano, the Kilometro Rosso on Bergamo's doorstep

Anyone driving along the A4 motorway knows Stezzano by the long red wall of the Kilometro Rosso, the science and technology park that grew up around the headquarters of the brake maker Brembo. The town lies on the plain just south of Bergamo, with the city on one side, Dalmine on the other and Orio al Serio airport a short way off.

A lot of the land here is built on: industrial estates, shopping centres and roads cover a large share of the municipality, and the old farming village is now ringed by housing. Open timetable data show a railway station on the line to Treviglio, plus one bus route. When looking at a house, check the distance from main roads and industrial areas, which varies a great deal between neighbourhoods.

The population is growing and young. There were 13,663 residents in 2023, up 8.2% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office; the estimated mean age is 43.4 against 45.2 for the province, and over-65s are only 18.8%, against 22.5% across the Bergamo area. Households average 2.39 people, foreign residents are 9.0% and declared incomes are just above the provincial average.

All 243 municipalities in the province of Bergamo are in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification; in Stezzano the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.114 g. In houses built in the last twenty years, energy rating and build quality matter more; in older ones, insulation and the heating and electrics.

The plain is crossed by irrigation ditches and canals, so flood hazard, like landslide hazard, is checked at the exact address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report finds the building's parcel.
