Domegge di Cadore, on the Centro Cadore lake
The Centro Cadore lake, created by the dam on the Piave, laps at Domegge di Cadore, and the village looks out over the water from the hillside, at over seven hundred metres, with the Dolomites all round. Cadore is also Italy's eyewear country, and for decades the spectacle factories provided work for many families in the valley.
Buyers here usually want a mountain home, to live in or for holidays. On offer are traditional wood and stone houses in the old clusters, blocks of flats from the tourism years and small villas with lake views. The nearest railway station is at Calalzo, close by, the end of the line from Belluno. Winters are long and cold (climate zone F), so insulation, windows and heating have a big effect on running costs.
Depopulation shows in the figures from Istat, Italy's national statistics office: 2,230 residents in 2023, down 13.4% since 2011. The average age is 50.6, above the 48.6 of the province of Belluno, and over-65s are 31.2%. Foreign residents make up 4.9%. Declared incomes are close to the provincial average.
Domegge is in seismic zone 2 on the scale kept by the Protezione Civile (Civil Protection Department), like 26 other municipalities in the province, with an expected acceleration of 0.131 g. For an old house in masonry or partly in wood, have the roof and the ties between walls and floors checked.
On the slopes of an alpine valley and near streams, the position of the house matters: the report for the address shows the official landslide and flood maps.
