Incudine, in the upper Val Camonica along the Oglio

Incudine lies in the upper Val Camonica, a long Alpine valley in the province of Brescia, on the floor of the Oglio valley and the slopes that close it in, at over nine hundred metres. It is the last stretch before Vezza d'Oglio and Ponte di Legno, on the road that climbs towards the Tonale pass. Further down is Edolo, where the train from Brescia ends and where most of the services a village this size depends on can be found.

Life here follows the mountains. Winters are long (the municipality is in climate zone F, one of the coldest) and snow is part of the season. If you buy a stone house in the old village, expect roofs to check, thick and often damp walls, and wiring or heating that may need replacing. In newer homes, look at insulation and windows, because heating is a large part of the yearly bills. Many properties are second homes for people who ski in the upper valley.

Istat, Italy's national statistics office, counted 346 residents in 2023, against 403 in 2011, a fall of 14.1%. The estimated average age is 49.2, above the 45.4 of the province, and 29.2% of residents are over 65. Foreign residents make up 3.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Incudine is in seismic zone 3, like 153 of the 205 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the village of about 0.061 g. In an older building, ask whether the roof and floors have been redone and how they are tied into the walls.

On the slopes and near the streams running down to the Oglio, ground conditions change a lot over short distances. The report checks the official landslide and flood maps for the exact address, and the Revenue Agency publishes cadastral maps for Incudine too.
