Aldino, a high plateau above the lower Adige valley

Aldino, Aldein in German, stands on a plateau east of the Bassa Atesina, the lower Adige valley south of Bolzano, well above the valley floor among meadows, farmsteads and conifer woods. The village is above a thousand metres, with long winters (climate zone F) and cool summers, and its territory includes the Bletterbach gorge, a canyon cut into the rock that is part of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site. German is the main language.

Living here means going down to the valley for work and services, with Ora, Egna and, further away, Bolzano as the reference points. There is public transport: the data list 6 bus lines and 44 stops across the area, useful for the outlying hamlets too. Homes are mostly traditional farmsteads (maso), village houses and newer buildings in the local style; insulation and heating matter a great deal.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,620 residents in 2023, down 1.9% since 2011. The average age is 42.6, a little below the provincial 43.4; over-65s make up 19.6% and foreign residents 2.5%. Households average 2.52 people.

All 116 municipalities in South Tyrol are in seismic zone 4, and in Aldino the expected ground acceleration is 0.058 g, a low value.

Ownership is checked in the land register (libro fondiario), because South Tyrol uses the tavolare system and the Revenue Agency maps are not published. You need a land register search, and it is worth looking into the provincial rules on housing reserved for residents and on closed farms (maso chiuso), which can restrict the sale or use of a property.

Key points

  • Plateau above the lower Adige valley, over 1,000 metres up.
  • Bletterbach gorge, part of the Dolomites UNESCO site.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Aldino is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 116 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.058 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Aldino: 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 Aldino 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.
