Villanova del Sillaro, a young village in the Lodi countryside

The figures for Villanova del Sillaro tell an unusual story for a small lowland town. It is a farming municipality in the Lodi area, not far from Lodi itself, with its centre at about 70 metres and hamlets and farmsteads spread across the fields, with a population younger than the provincial average.

In 2023 there were 1,870 residents, up 8.0% on 2011. The average age is 42.0, against 45.4 in the province of Lodi, and over-65s are 16.4%, compared with 22.6% provincially. Households have 2.58 members on average and foreign residents are 12.2%. Declared incomes are a little below the provincial average.

Buyers will find recent detached houses and small blocks, village houses and farmsteads to restore. If you work in Lodi or the Milan area, plan on a car: the public transport database used by the site lists no stops in the municipality.

Like all 60 municipalities in the province, Villanova del Sillaro is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, with an expected acceleration of 0.074 g. For a converted farmstead, ask how the walls and roofs were strengthened.

On the plain the thing to check is water, with irrigation channels and a shallow water table: cellars and basements need attention. The report reads the official flood maps for the address and finds the parcel on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps.
