Bedulita, a Valle Imagna village above Bergamo

The Valle Imagna opens north-west of Bergamo among woods, meadows and stone houses, and Bedulita occupies a stretch of its hillside: the village sits at about 600 metres, with scattered clusters of houses and wide views over the valley. Bergamo and the towns of the lower valley are the reference for work, secondary schools and services, reached by car along the valley road.

There were 722 residents in 2023, practically the same as in 2011: the fall is 0.1% (Istat, the national statistics office). The average age is 46.7 against 45.2 in the province of Bergamo, and over-65s make up 27.1%, above the provincial 22.5%. Foreign residents account for 4.4%, and households average 2.34 people. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The market consists of stone houses, rustic buildings to restore and homes built in recent decades. For buyers, the access road (often narrow and steep), sun exposure and the state of the roof all matter; with rustic buildings, also check the utility connections and whether planning rules allow the renovation you have in mind. This is climate zone E, with cold winters.

Seismic hazard is moderate and the same across the province: all 243 municipalities in the province of Bergamo are in seismic zone 3, and the expected ground acceleration in Bedulita is about 0.075 g.

On these slopes the report measures gradient and elevation at the house and reads the official landslide maps. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the municipality's cadastral maps, so the address leads to the land parcel.
