Bresimo, a side valley of the Val di Non above a thousand metres

The Val di Bresimo branches off the Val di Non and climbs between fir woods and mountain meadows, and the municipality that gives it its name has its centre just above a thousand metres. It is a quiet valley with a handful of hamlets and no large village: for work, secondary schools and services people drive down into the Val di Non, towards Cles and the other towns on the valley floor, and to Trento for provincial offices.

The climate is properly alpine, climate zone F, with long snowy winters. Homes are mainly family houses and old farm buildings, some turned into second homes. A buyer should look first at sun exposure, insulation and winter access. Average declared incomes are below the average for the province of Trento.

In 2023 there were 244 residents, down 3.9% from 254 in 2011, according to Istat, Italy's statistics office. The estimated average age is 49.5, against 45.4 in the province, and over-65s make up 33.2%, compared with 23.6% provincially. Foreign residents are very few, 1.2%.

For earthquakes, Bresimo is in zone 4 on the Civil Protection scale, like only 15 of the 166 municipalities in Trentino, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.049 g. The real difference is the land registry: Trentino uses the tavolare land book system, and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish parcel maps here. For ownership and boundaries you need the land book and the provincial cadastre; the report still starts from the address and checks landslides, avalanches and nearby services.

Overview

Bresimo is a municipality in the province of Trento, in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. At the end of 2023 it had 244 residents, among the smallest in the province (160 of 166).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Bresimo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 15 of 166 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

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 fallen by 3.9%. The estimated average age is 49 years, higher than the province average (45). 33% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 22%). Foreign residents make up 1.2% of the population. On average, a household has 2.1 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Bresimo declared an average taxable income of 21,841 euros, below the provincial average (25,718 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Bresimo is in climate zone F, with 4,007 heating degree days, with no limits on when heating may be used. The same table puts the town hall at 1,036 metres above sea level.

Services

The data shows no schools within the municipality, against a provincial average of 0.7 per 1,000 residents.

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 0.4% of the land in Bresimo, compared with 3.1% in the province and 2.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Bresimo 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 Bresimo.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Bresimo: 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 Bresimo 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 7 inhabited census areas in Bresimo. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 57 or more.
