Vedano al Lambro, a small town on the edge of Monza Park

The boundary wall of Monza Park runs along one side of Vedano al Lambro, and for residents the park works as a back garden: lawns, tree-lined avenues and woodland a short walk from home. On race days, people in the nearest streets can hear the engines at the Monza circuit. The municipality is small and compact, almost entirely built up, squeezed between Monza and the towns of the central Brianza.

Monza is right next door and Milan is about half an hour by car, traffic permitting. Vedano has no railway station and relies on those in Monza and neighbouring towns. Being next to the park shows in the market: declared incomes are well above the provincial average, and alongside blocks of flats from the 1960s and 1970s there are villas and upmarket homes.

The population has been stable for years, with 7,436 residents in 2023 according to Istat, the national statistics institute, a change of +0.1% on 2011. It is older than the Brianza average, though: an estimated average age of 48.6 against 45.9, and over-65s at 28.3% against 23.5% for the province. Households average 2.17 people and foreign residents make up 7.5%. As a result, many homes change hands through inheritance and often need updating inside.

Earthquake hazard is low. Vedano is in seismic zone 3, like 40 of the 55 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.055 g. In an older block of flats, the energy rating, the state of the shared parts and the service charges matter more, and the minutes of recent residents' meetings are worth reading.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report goes from the address to the plot. The river Lambro flows through the park, not far from the houses: flood hazard is read for the individual address.
