Terranova dei Passerini, farmland in the lower Lodi plain
Fields of maize and fodder, courtyard farmsteads, irrigation channels: Terranova dei Passerini is a farming municipality on the plain of the lower Lodi area, a little over 60 metres above sea level. For trains to Milan, the station people use in this area is Codogno, while Lodi and Piacenza are the larger towns for services and work.
The population here is young by the standards of the province, and growing. In 2023 there were 937 residents, 3.4% more than in 2011. The average age is 44.4, against 45.4 in the province of Lodi, and over-65s make up 20.8%, below the provincial 22.6%. Households have 2.55 people on average and foreign residents account for 5.7%. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.
Buyers find detached houses and small villas built in recent decades, flats in small blocks and, in the countryside, farmsteads to restore. With a farmstead, the roof, the brick walls and damp are what count; with a recent house, the energy rating, because the climate zone is E, with foggy, damp winters.
Seismic hazard is moderate and the same across the province: all 60 municipalities in the province of Lodi are in zone 3, and the expected ground acceleration here is 0.078 g.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for the municipality. On a plain crossed by irrigation ditches and channels, the report is most useful for flood hazard, checked at the exact address, and for the local price range.
