Castello-Molina di Fiemme, two villages in the Fiemme valley
Castello-Molina di Fiemme is a municipality formed by merging Castello di Fiemme and Molina di Fiemme, in the lower part of the Fiemme valley in Trentino. Castello sits on a sunny terrace above the valley floor, while Molina lies lower down beside the Avisio stream. Cavalese, the main town of the valley, is a short drive away.
Buyers here choose between quite different settings: older houses in the two historic villages, detached homes on the slopes, and flats that many people keep as holiday homes for winter and summer. This is a mountain climate (climate zone F, the Italian band for the coldest areas), with long, cold winters, so heating, insulation and the state of the roof matter more than they would on the plain. Near the Avisio and the side streams it is worth checking the official landslide and flood maps, which the report looks up for the exact address.
Istat, the national statistics institute, counts 2,320 residents, up 2.3% since 2011. The average age is 45.8, almost the same as the 45.4 of the province of Trento, and foreign residents make up 5.2%. Declared incomes are slightly above the provincial average.
For earthquakes the municipality is in seismic zone 3, like 146 other municipalities in Trentino, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.064 g. These are low values, though in older stone houses it is still sensible to check load-bearing walls and timber floors.
One point on land registration: Trentino uses the tavolare system, based on the Land Book (Libro fondiario) rather than the registers used elsewhere in Italy. The Revenue Agency does not publish parcel maps here, so the report cannot trace the plot and says so openly, while all the other data for the address remain available.
