Vizzolo Predabissi, the hospital and the Lambro next to Melegnano
Drive out of Melegnano along the Via Emilia towards Lodi and you enter Vizzolo Predabissi almost without noticing: the two towns run into each other. Vizzolo lies on the plain south-east of Milan, along the river Lambro, and is home to the Predabissi hospital, which serves the whole Melegnano area.
For anyone working in Milan the location is convenient: Melegnano station, on the suburban rail network (the passante), and the A1 motorway junction are close by. The market is made up of apartment blocks from recent decades, detached houses and a few old farmsteads in the countryside. A large share of the land is built on, with homes, business areas and roads. Average declared incomes are slightly below the average for the Milan metropolitan area, which remains among the highest in Italy.
In 2023 there were 3,860 residents, down 4.6% from 4,045 in 2011. The population is older than average: an average age of 46.8 against 45.6, and over-65s at 27.2% against 23.0% for the metropolitan area. Foreign residents make up 8.3%. For healthcare, Overture Maps data count 6 facilities, 1.55 per 1,000 residents against 0.75 in the province.
Seismic hazard is low. Vizzolo is in zone 3, like 60 municipalities in the metropolitan area, while the other 73 are in zone 4; the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.061 g. In an apartment block, the state of the building, service charges and energy rating matter more.
The Lambro is the issue to look at most closely: near the river, flood hazard changes from one block to the next. The report reads the official maps for the address and, using the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, finds the plot.
