Albiano, porphyry country between Val di Cembra and Piné

Porphyry is why Albiano is known throughout Trentino: the quarries around the village supply the reddish stone used for paving and road setts, and quarrying has shaped both the economy and the landscape. The village sits above the Adige valley, at the mouth of the Val di Cembra and close to the Piné plateau. Trento is within driving distance.

Buyers should check where the quarries are in relation to the house and which roads the work vehicles use. The village is compact, with mountain houses and more recent small blocks of flats; the climate is cold, in climate zone F, so insulation and heating matter a great deal.

The population is stable: 1,512 residents in 2023, according to Istat, the national statistics office, up 0.3% since 2011. The average age of 44.5 is a little below the provincial 45.4, and over-65s make up 22.2%. Foreign residents account for 6.0%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

On earthquakes, Trentino is almost entirely in seismic zone 3: 147 of its 166 municipalities, Albiano included, with an expected ground acceleration here of about 0.065 g.

Trentino uses the tavolare land register system: ownership is recorded in the land book (libro fondiario) and the cadastre is run by the autonomous Province, while the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps for these municipalities. For this reason the report does not trace the land parcel: cadastral data should be requested from the provincial offices or the notary. Landslide and flood hazard are still read for the address.

Key points

  • Porphyry village at the mouth of the Val di Cembra.
  • Stable population: up 0.3% since 2011.
  • Seismic zone 3, expected acceleration about 0.065 g.

Albiano is a municipality in the province of Trento, in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. At the end of 2023 it had 1,512 residents, ranked 73 of 166 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Albiano is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (147 of 166) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.065 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 44 years, in line with the province. 22% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 22%). Foreign residents make up 6.0% of the population. On average, a household has 2.4 members.

Radon and contaminated sites

Albiano is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Provincia autonoma di Trento in 2026. According to the ISPRA map, the estimated radon emission in the municipality is medium. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list no contaminated sites in Albiano.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Albiano: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

For Albiano the Revenue Agency does not publish cadastral maps: the land registry here uses the tavolare (land book) system. The report cannot give a parcel reference, but it still checks risks, services and transport at the address and states this clearly.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 11 inhabited census areas in Albiano. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 71 or more.
