Physical geography
The territory of Pescarolo ed Uniti, which covers an area of 16.54 square kilometers, is mainly agricultural and extends almost uniformly over a regular geometric area. The municipality is the result of the aggregation of the municipalities of Pescarolo, Pieve Terzagni and Castelnuovo del Vescovo in 1867. The municipality is located 45 meters above sea level, about twenty kilometers east of Cremona, near the river Oglio which marks the boundary between the Cremonese countryside and that of Brescia.
Climate
The typical Po Valley climate characterizes the province of Cremona. You can experience cold winters, hot summers, high humidity, frequent fog and low-intensity rain during the year. In spring, you can see significant rainfall episodes, which tend to become more thunderous as the season progresses. Summer precipitation is higher than winter precipitation but is distributed more irregularly.
History
Pescarolo ed Uniti has a long history dating back to ancient times. Numerous archaeological finds testify to how the site was already inhabited in Roman times. Ruins of a rural villa were found in Senigola and a treasure of 450 coins in Castelnuovo. The Lombard presence in the area is evident from the discovery of numerous Lombard-inspired artifacts. The municipality, originally owned by the counts of Sospiro, was then donated to the monastery of San Giovanni di Pipia in 1093, and later granted to the Pescarolo community in 1249.
On the right bank of the Oglio, numerous castles, fortresses and fortifications had been erected to control the navigable river, which represented a route of great commerce and the border between the duchy of Milan, the Republic of Venice and the duchy of Mantua.

The textile sector is the one that gives the greatest impetus to the local economy, along with the production of components for the automobile industry.
