Giustino, in the Val Rendena next to Pinzolo
Giustino is a village in the Val Rendena, in western Trentino, on the valley floor followed by the river Sarca, next to Pinzolo and a short distance from the lifts that climb towards the Brenta and Adamello mountains. The centre stands at around 770 metres, with traditional houses, newer apartment blocks and meadows reaching up to the edge of the woods. Winter and summer tourism weigh heavily on the valley's economy, and some homes are used as second homes.
The number of residents has stayed almost the same. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 740 residents in 2023, just 0.4% fewer than in 2011. The average age is 46.0, close to the 45.4 for Trentino, and over-65s make up 25.7% against 23.6%. Foreign residents account for 8.9%. Average declared income is above the provincial figure.
Buyers should know that in Trentino property ownership is recorded in the Libro fondiario, the land register system of Austrian origin, and that the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish the cadastral maps for these municipalities. The report says so: it does not return the cadastral parcel, and ownership, boundaries and easements must be checked in the Libro fondiario, usually through the notary. All the other data on the address, from hazards to distances to services, remain available.
This is climate zone F: long, snowy winters, heating for much of the year, and in mountain homes insulation and the roof count as much as location. Giustino is in seismic zone 3, like 147 of the 166 municipalities in Trentino, with a low expected ground acceleration of about 0.058 g.
On the slopes and near the Sarca and side streams, landslide and flood hazard is checked on the official maps, which the report reads for the exact spot.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.058 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.

Landslides and flooding
Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Giustino: 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 Giustino 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.
