Travacò Siccomario, between the Ticino and the Po just below Pavia
The Siccomario is the strip of flat land enclosed between the Ticino and the Po, just south of Pavia, and Travacò covers its eastern part, towards the point where the two rivers meet. The municipality borders the city: from the centre of Pavia it takes a few minutes across the Ticino. Fields, poplar plantations and small hamlets alternate with residential areas built in recent decades.
People who live here often work in Pavia, at the university or in the hospitals, and it shows in declared incomes, well above the provincial average. There are 4,448 residents, up 2.0% on 2011; the average age is 46.8, close to the provincial figure (47.1), and foreign residents make up 4.5%. The village has only 18 recorded services, since people rely on the city for almost everything, and the data shows no public transport stops in the municipality.
The decisive issue for a buyer is water. Living between two big rivers means embankments, floodplain land and areas that high water can reach. Not every part of the municipality is in the same position: one house can differ from the next depending on its distance from the embankment and the height of the ground. The report checks the official flood maps for the exact address, and that is the first thing to look at before making an offer. Flood insurance for the house also deserves careful thought.
Seismic risk, by contrast, is low. Travacò is in zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 156 other municipalities in the province of Pavia, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.075 g. In older houses, rising damp and the state of the foundations on river-deposited soil matter more.

- Between the Ticino and the Po, bordering Pavia.
