Contà, three Val di Non villages among the apple orchards

Contà is a young municipality in the Val di Non, created in 2016 by merging Cunevo, Flavon and Terres. They are hillside villages surrounded by apple orchards, the crop that dominates the valley, with houses gathered in the old centres and roads climbing towards the woods. Trento is a drive away down towards the Adige valley, while for daily needs people look to the larger towns of the Val di Non.

Buyers here choose a rural, well-kept setting with cold winters and a life tied to farming and the fruit cooperatives. Village houses often have large volumes, haylofts and cellars; newer homes sit on the edge of the villages, right next to the orchards, where spraying takes place close to the houses in season.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,403 residents in 2023, up 1.4% since 2011. The average age is 47.1, above the provincial 45.4, and over-65s make up 26.5%. Foreign residents account for 7.0%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Contà is in seismic zone 3, like 147 of the 166 municipalities in Trentino, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.052 g. In older masonry houses with large attics, the roof structure is the main thing to check.

Trentino uses the tavolare land registry system, based on the land book (libro fondiario) rather than the registers used elsewhere in Italy, and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps here. The report says so and points to the land book for ownership. Landslides and streams are checked address by address on the official maps.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.052 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.

The estimated average age is 47 years, higher than the province average (45). 27% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 22%). Foreign residents make up 7.0% of the population.

Radon and contaminated sites

Contà 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 Contà.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Contà: 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 Contà 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 16 inhabited census areas in Contà. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 60 or more.
