Cesiomaggiore, between Feltre and the Val Canzoi in the Dolomites

Cesiomaggiore lies on the northern side of the Piave valley, just east of Feltre, where scattered hamlets climb from the valley-floor meadows towards the mountains of the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park. The Val Canzoi, one of the valleys leading into the park, with the Stua lake and many mountain trails, starts within the municipality.

The municipality is made up of many small hamlets rather than a single centre, and the market reflects this: detached houses with gardens and vegetable plots, old stone farmhouses to restore and a few flats in small blocks. Feltre, with its hospital, secondary schools and railway station, is a few kilometres away; Belluno is reached by car along the valley. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.

In 2023 there were 3,944 residents, 4.8% fewer than in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 48.3, slightly below that of the province of Belluno, and over-65s make up 27.3%. Foreign residents account for 4.4%.

The Feltre area is seismically active. In the province of Belluno 7 municipalities are in seismic zone 1 of the Civil Protection classification and 27 in zone 2, Cesiomaggiore among the latter, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.209 g, a medium-high value. For a stone farmhouse you need a check of the walls and of how they tie into floors and roof; for newer houses, the structural design.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report finds the plot from the address. Climate zone F brings long winters, so heating and insulation weigh heavily. At the foot of the mountains, landslides and debris flows along the streams depend on the exact spot: the report checks them on the official maps.
