Bondone, from the mountain down to Lake Idro
Bondone is a municipality in western Trentino that runs from the mountainside down to the northern tip of Lake Idro. The main village is high up, with the town hall at around 720 metres, while the hamlet of Baitoni lies close to the lake shore, just above the flat land where the river Chiese comes in. They are two different worlds a few minutes apart by car: mountain houses and old haylofts above, a newer settlement geared to visitors below.
Anyone looking for a home should first choose between them. Up in the village the climate zone is F, with long winters and snow; near the lake the climate is gentler, but the flood maps along the river and the shore need checking. On the slopes, the elevation and gradient of the plot and the landslide hazard are read address by address.
In 2023 Istat, the national statistics institute, counted 645 residents, down 3.4% on 2011. The average age is 47.9 against 45.4 in the province of Trento, over-65s make up 27.1% and households have 2.11 people on average. Average declared income is below the provincial level.
Bondone is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection (Protezione Civile) classification, like most of Trentino (147 of 166 municipalities), with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.138 g. In an old stone house, the state of the roof and the timber floors matters most.
The land registry works differently from the rest of Italy. Trentino uses the tavolare system, with its Land Book (Libro fondiario), and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps here: the report cannot trace the parcel from that source, and ownership and boundaries are checked at the provincial Cadastre and Land Book offices.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Bondone 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 0.138 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 resident population has fallen by 3.4%. The estimated average age is 48 years, higher than the province average (45). 27% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 22%). Foreign residents make up 2.6% of the population. On average, a household has 2.1 members.

Landslides and flooding
Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Bondone: 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 Bondone 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 Bondone. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 55 or more.
