Andriano, orchards and vineyards on the edge of the Adige valley

Andriano, Andrian in German, lies on the western edge of the Adige valley between Bolzano and Merano, where the flat valley floor planted with apple orchards meets the first slopes covered in vines. Behind the village the rock walls rise steeply towards the Mendola range. Most residents speak German, and village life follows the rhythm of farming and wine.

For anyone working in Bolzano, transport links matter: in the public timetables of the South Tyrol transport network the municipality has 6 stops served by 2 bus lines, and the report measures the distance from every address to the nearest stop. There is one feature of the South Tyrol housing market to know before you start looking: part of the new housing is "convenzionata", meaning it is reserved for people who live or work in the province, and this restriction must be checked on the specific property. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.

The population is growing slowly: 1,053 residents in 2023, 1.7% more than in 2011. The average age, 43.5, is similar to the province's, and over-65s make up 19.1% against 20.6%. Foreign nationals account for 7.7%.

All 116 municipalities in the province of Bolzano are in seismic zone 4, the lowest class; here the expected ground acceleration is 0.049 g. The energy rating matters more than earthquakes, in a province where the CasaClima (KlimaHaus) certificate is widespread, along with the condition of the roof and systems.

The land registry works differently. The province of Bolzano uses the "tavolare" system, based on the Land Book (Libro fondiario), and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps here: the report says so and still checks landslides, flooding and distances to services at the exact spot.

Key points

  • Orchard and vineyard village between Bolzano and Merano, below the Mendola.
  • 6 stops and 2 bus lines in the municipality.
  • Population up 1.7% since 2011.
  • Tavolare land registry: no Revenue Agency cadastral maps.

Overview

Andriano is a municipality in the province of Bolzano/Bozen, in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. At the end of 2023 it had 1,053 residents, ranked 99 of 116 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Andriano 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 0.049 g, a low 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has grown by 1.7%. The estimated average age is 44 years, in line with the province. 19% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 22%). Foreign residents make up 7.7% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Andriano declared an average taxable income of 28,037 euros, in line with the province (28,222 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Andriano is in climate zone E, with 2,809 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 274 metres above sea level.

The data shows no schools within the municipality, against a provincial average of 0.2 per 1,000 residents.

How built-up it is

Radon and contaminated sites

Andriano is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Provincia autonoma di Bolzano in 2026. 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 open contaminated sites in Andriano; one has been cleaned up or closed.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Andriano: 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 Andriano 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 13 inhabited census areas in Andriano. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 65 or more.
