Cembra Lisignago, vineyard terraces of the Val di Cembra

In the Val di Cembra, the valley cut by the Avisio river north-east of Trento, the municipality of Cembra Lisignago has joined the two villages in its name since 2016. Houses sit on the sunny side of the valley, above the vineyard terraces held up by dry-stone walls that you see throughout the valley. The valley floor, narrow and deep, lies well below.

This is mid-mountain living, at around 650 metres in the centre of Cembra, in climate zone F: long winters and heating on for many months. For a second-hand house, check energy efficiency first, along with the access road in winter. Trento is reached by car along the valley road, and many residents make that journey to work every day.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,352 residents (2023), much the same as in 2011 (up 0.9%). The average age is 45.0, in line with the province of Trento, and foreign residents make up 6.1%. Average incomes are below the provincial level.

The municipality is in seismic zone 3 in the Civil Protection scale, like almost all of Trentino, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.063 g. In old stone buildings, the state of the floors and roof matters most. On the valley slopes, the report checks the official landslide and flood maps for the exact spot.

One key point for buyers: Trentino uses the land register system known as the tavolare, and the Revenue Agency does not publish cadastral maps here. For this municipality the report cannot trace the land parcel from the address, and says so. Ownership is checked in the land register (libro fondiario) at the local land registry office.

  • 2,352 residents, up 0.9% since 2011
  • Seismic zone 3, like almost all of Trentino
