Cimone, on the Bondone slopes above the Adige valley
Cimone is a Trentino municipality on the slopes of Monte Bondone, looking over the Adige valley south of Trento. Its houses are spread across small hamlets on the hillside, above the valley floor where the river, the railway and the Brenner motorway run. Trento is the reference for work, schools and services, and is reached by car down in the valley.
Cimone has grown: there were 728 residents in 2023, up 6.3% on 2011 (Istat, the national statistics office). The population is also younger: an average age of 44.0 against 45.4 in the province, with over-65s at 20.3% against 23.6%. Foreign residents account for 5.1%. Declared incomes are just below the Trentino average.
For buyers, height and climate matter. The municipality is in climate zone F, with long, cold winters, so insulation, windows and the heating system make a real difference to costs. On the slopes, look at winter access, gradient and retaining walls; the report reads the official landslide maps at the house.
Seismic hazard is moderate. Cimone is in zone 3, like 147 of the 166 municipalities in the province of Trento, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.094 g.
The land registry has its own rules here. Trentino uses the tavolare system: ownership is entered in the land book kept by the autonomous Province, and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps. The report therefore cannot trace the address to its land parcel and says so, while the other checks are still made at the property's location.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Cimone is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (147 of 166) are in the same zone.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.094 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.
Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.

Radon and contaminated sites
Cimone 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 Cimone.
Landslides and flooding
Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Cimone: 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 Cimone 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 18 inhabited census areas in Cimone. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 59 or more.
