Veduggio con Colzano, in the hills of upper Brianza
The municipality is named after its two villages, Veduggio and Colzano, and lies in the hills of upper Brianza, in the northernmost strip of the province of Monza and Brianza. The landscape is a mix of low rises, small valleys, woodland and business areas, with houses spread across the higher ground at around 300 metres. Monza and Milan are further south, reached by the SS36 main road that runs close by.
It suits people who want a house with a garden and some green space around it without moving too far from the city. The village is small and has few shops: the data record 17 services in total, so the weekly shop and many errands mean driving to nearby towns. Much of the housing consists of detached and semi-detached houses from recent decades, often on sloping plots.
In 2023 there were 4,170 residents, down 6.0% on 2011. The average age is 47.3 against 45.9 for the province, and over-65s make up 26.1%. Foreign residents account for 6.5%, fewer than in many Brianza towns, and declared incomes are below the provincial average.
Earthquake hazard is low. Veduggio con Colzano is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 39 other municipalities in the province, and expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.050 g. In a house of this kind, the roof, damp in basement rooms, the heating and electrics and the energy rating matter more.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published. On the slopes and in the small valleys between one rise and the next, the report checks the landslide and flood maps for the chosen address.
