Fierozzo, the Mocheni valley above Pergine

Fierozzo, Vlarotz in the local language, is one of the municipalities of the Mocheni valley, the upper part of the Fersina valley that climbs from Pergine Valsugana. A German-speaking minority, the Mocheni, lives here, and their dialect can still be heard in the village and on the farmsteads scattered across the slopes, above a thousand metres.

Homes are often farmsteads (masi) and isolated houses spread over steep ground, among hay meadows and woods. Anyone thinking of buying needs to allow for climate zone F, with long, snowy winters, mountain roads to drive every day for work and school, and the cost of heating. For services the reference is Pergine, at the bottom of the valley.

Fierozzo has a relatively young population: the average age of 44.6 is close to the provincial 45.4, and over-65s make up 23.5%. Households have 2.46 members on average. In 2023 there were 464 residents, 3.5% fewer than in 2011, and foreign residents account for 0.0%.

The municipality is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's national scale, like 147 of the 166 municipalities in Trentino, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.072 g. For a house of timber and masonry, look mainly at the roof, insulation and heating system.

One thing to know: in Trentino property is recorded in the land book (libro fondiario), the tavolare system inherited from Austria, and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps for Fierozzo. The report says so and does not identify the land parcel; ground slope and landslide hazard are still looked at for the exact spot.

  • Average age 44.6, close to the provincial figure.
