Asking EUR 460,000 (~EUR 2,091/m2); even with a modest EUR 200/m2 allowance for renovation the effective price is ~EUR 2,291/m2 versus the regional median of EUR 426/m2, so this is priced far above the local baseline.
More on the house and the area
A tidy, modern two‑apartment villa in move‑in condition with driveway and a small private garden — clearly a practical family home. It’s comfortable and well maintained but lacks characterful historic features or notable views, so it appeals more for utility than as a romantic ‘Italian dream’ house.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €25,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Residential/suburban location with no scenic views
- Modest private garden and mostly paved outdoor area
- No historic or particularly photogenic architectural features
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 67/100Flat Po Valley terrain around the town with intensive arable and dairy farming and a dense network of irrigation canals. The Adda river flows within the 15 km radius and the Parco Adda Sud protects stretches of river corridor and floodplain woodland near the town. The historical Canale della Muzza and other irrigation channels cross the area and underpin local agriculture. No mountains or natural lakes are within 15 km; Alpine ski areas lie farther away (roughly 1½–2 hours' drive). The town itself provides regional services including a railway station on the Milan–Bologna corridor, secondary schools and hospital facilities. Milan is the nearest large city (about 30 km to the northwest) with major airports and national rail connections. The local settlement pattern is towns and hamlets clustered around main roads, with nearby older settlements such as Lodi Vecchio that preserve medieval and earlier remains.
