Cornedo all'Isarco, between the Isarco valley and Val d'Ega
Cornedo all'Isarco, Karneid in German, is a municipality in South Tyrol on the edge of Bolzano, on the eastern side of the Isarco (Eisack) valley. Its territory starts on the valley floor, at the mouth of the Val d'Ega (Eggental), and climbs steep wooded slopes to villages and farmsteads scattered over upland terraces, with the Dolomites in the background. Most residents speak German, and Bolzano is the town for work and services.
Being so close to the city shows in daily life. Public transport data records 87 stops in the municipality, served by 14 bus lines, a notable figure for a place this size. The housing market is tight, though: South Tyrol has rules on subsidised housing and on homes reserved for residents, which need checking before any purchase.
In 2023 there were 3,444 residents, up 4.0% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is young: an average age of 42.4 against 43.4 in the province, and over-65s at 17.7%. Foreign residents are 7.6%. Average incomes are in line with the provincial average.
South Tyrol does not use the Revenue Agency's land registry but the tavolare system, with the Land Book (Libro fondiario) run by the Province: the Agency's maps are not published, and searches on the plot go through the land registry offices. All 116 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 4, with a low expected ground acceleration of about 0.055 g.
On the steep slopes above the Isarco, rockfall and landslides are the risk to check for the precise spot, and the report looks at the official maps for the address.
