Verdellino and Zingonia, on the plain south of Bergamo

Verdellino has two sides. There is the old village on the plain south of Bergamo, and there is Zingonia, a new town planned in the 1960s across several municipalities (Verdellino, Ciserano, Boltiere, Osio Sotto and Verdello), with apartment blocks, wide avenues and industrial estates.

For a buyer, the difference between the two matters more than anything else. Zingonia has been through hard times and some blocks are in poor condition, while other areas are quiet and well kept. Before buying, visit the building, read the minutes of the residents' meetings and ask whether any extraordinary charges are due. The municipality has 1 railway stop on the Treviglio to Bergamo line, served by 2 lines, which helps anyone commuting to Bergamo or Milan.

The population is steady at 7,662 residents at the end of 2023 (+0.1% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office) and young, with an average age of 42.8 against 45.2 for the province. The share of foreign residents is very high, 25.5%, among the highest in the Bergamo area, and declared incomes are below the provincial average.

All 243 municipalities in the province of Bergamo are in seismic zone 3 of the classification drawn up by the Civil Protection Department; here the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.108 g. In blocks from the 1960s and 1970s the real questions lie elsewhere: plumbing and wiring, facades, energy rating and shared costs.

Almost all the land is built on, between houses, warehouses and roads, far above the Lombardy average. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report traces each address back to its plot; flood and other hazards are read for the individual address.
