Cavizzana, a small municipality in the lower Val di Sole

In the lower Val di Sole the Noce river runs between slopes of woods and meadows, and Cavizzana covers a small stretch of it. The village sits at about seven hundred metres, gathered around the church, with a few scattered houses. Malè is the main town of the valley for schools and services, while for the hospital and provincial offices people head towards Cles or Trento.

The age profile is close to the rest of Trentino. In 2023 Istat, the national statistics office, counted 234 residents, down 9.7% on 2011, but the estimated average age of 47.1 is close to the 45.4 of the province of Trento, and over-65s make up 23.9%, almost the same as the provincial 23.6%. Foreign residents are very few, 0.9%.

Homes are mostly family houses, some converted from old farm buildings, and the market rarely moves. In climate zone F, insulation, heating and sun exposure matter, and in an Alpine valley exposure changes a great deal from one side to the other. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.

For earthquakes, Cavizzana is in zone 4 on the Civil Protection scale, like 15 of the 166 municipalities in Trentino, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.050 g. More important for a buyer is the land registry: the province of Trento uses the tavolare land book system, and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish parcel maps here. For ownership, boundaries and rights you need the land book and the provincial cadastre. The report still starts from the address and checks landslides, Noce floods and nearby services.

Overview

Cavizzana is a municipality in the province of Trento, in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. At the end of 2023 it had 234 residents, among the smallest in the province (161 of 166).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Cavizzana 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 0.050 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

The estimated average age is 47 years, higher than the province average (45). 24% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 22%). Foreign residents make up 0.9% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Cavizzana: 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 Cavizzana 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.
