Truccazzano, four hamlets along the Muzza canal towards the Adda

The Muzza canal cuts north to south through Truccazzano, on the far eastern edge of the metropolitan area of Milan, where the Martesana district gives way to farmland running down towards the river Adda. The municipality is made up of several settlements: besides the main village there are Albignano, with the Palazzo Anguissola, Corneliano Bertario, with its castle of medieval origin, Cavaione and Incugnate. Between them lie fields, irrigation ditches and farmsteads.

If you are looking for a home here, choose the hamlet first, because services and distances vary a good deal. There is no railway station in the municipality: for trains into Milan people go to Melzo, on the Treviglio line, while the Brebemi motorway crosses the local countryside and joins Milan's outer eastern bypass a little further west. Housing is mostly detached and semi-detached homes and small blocks of flats, plus a few converted farmhouses. Declared incomes are well below the metropolitan average, although that figure is pushed up by Milan itself.

At the end of 2023 there were 5,830 residents, 2.3% fewer than in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 44.9, slightly below the provincial 45.6, and over-65s make up 20.3% against 23.0%. Foreign residents account for 10.4%. For a small municipality, basic services hold up: 0.51 pharmacies per 1,000 residents, against 0.29 across the Milan area.

In the metropolitan area, 60 municipalities are in seismic zone 3 and 73 in zone 4, on the scale set by the Protezione Civile (Italy's Civil Protection Department). Truccazzano is in zone 3, with low expected acceleration of about 0.078 g. In the farmhouses and older homes of the hamlets, the roof, damp in the walls and the heating and wiring matter more.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report finds the land parcel from the address. With the Muzza, the ditches and the Adda not far off, flood hazard should be read for the exact spot, especially if the house has an underground garage or cellar.
