Fuipiano Valle Imagna, hamlets at the head of the valley

At the head of the Imagna valley, above a thousand metres, lies Fuipiano. The village is a scatter of hamlets among meadows and woods, some with stone houses and the stone-slab roofs typical of the valley, and pastures climbing towards the ridges. Height and aspect change from one hamlet to the next, and with them the hours of winter sun.

Bergamo is the reference for work and services, reached by driving down the whole valley on a winding road. So this is a place for people who work from home, who want a cool summer house, or who already have ties to the valley. The climate is zone F, the coldest class: snow and frost are normal in winter, and an uninsulated stone house is expensive to heat. Ask to see energy bills and the state of the roof.

The population decline has been moderate. In 2023 there were 209 residents, 12 fewer than the 221 of 2011, a fall of 5.4%. The estimated average age is 49.7, against 45.2 in the province of Bergamo, and over-65s make up 33.5%, compared with 22.5% across the province. Foreign residents account for 3.3%.

All 243 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 3; here the expected ground acceleration is about 0.064 g, a low value. In older houses the roof remains the thing to check, as stone roofing is heavy. The report checks the address against the official landslide maps, useful on steep slopes, and uses Revenue Agency cadastral maps to trace the land parcel.
