Strozza, at the entrance to the Imagna valley

Strozza is the first village you reach when entering the Imagna valley from the plain around Bergamo. The municipality lies on wooded slopes above the Imagna stream, with houses spread between the valley floor, where the valley road runs, and the hamlets higher up. Bergamo is close enough to be the daily reference for work and services.

Strozza is growing. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,121 residents in 2023, up 5.2% on 2011, and the estimated average age of 45.2 matches the provincial 45.2. Over-65s make up 21.0%, foreign residents 6.4%, and households have 2.36 members on average. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Buyers choose between houses along the valley-floor road, easier to reach, and those on the slopes, with more greenery and steeper ground. In a narrow valley three things deserve attention: car access in winter, exposure to the sun and the stability of the ground. The report reads the official landslide and flood maps for the address, including along the Imagna, and measures distances to services.

All 243 municipalities in the province of Bergamo are in seismic zone 3, as classified by the Civil Protection Department; in Strozza expected ground acceleration is about 0.082 g. The hazard is moderate, but with stone houses in the hamlets it is still worth asking when the roof and floors were last redone.

The climate is zone E. Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are available, and the report traces the address back to its plot.
