Lamon, the bean-growing plateau near Feltre

The name Lamon is linked above all to beans, grown on the plateau and protected by an IGP designation of origin. The municipality lies in the Feltre area, in the western part of the province of Belluno, on a plateau at around 600 metres overlooking the valleys of streams that run down towards the Brenta, with meadows, fields and scattered hamlets. Feltre, the town for hospital care, schools and work, is about half an hour by car.

For generations Lamon was a place people left, heading for other parts of Europe and the Americas, and it shows: alongside lived-in homes there are houses of families who come back in summer, and farm buildings waiting to be restored. Buyers find detached houses with land, often needing updating, in a quiet mountain setting. Climate zone F means long, cold winters, so heating, insulation and the state of the roof matter a great deal.

According to Istat, the national statistics office, there are 2,605 residents (2023), down 14.5% on 2011. The population is old: an average age of 51.9 against 48.6 for the province, and more than a third of residents are over 65 (35.8%). Foreign residents make up 2.1%. Declared incomes are well below the average for the province of Belluno.

Lamon is in seismic zone 2, with an expected acceleration of 0.147 g. In masonry houses, often extended over the years, have the walls and floors checked and ask whether any structural work has been done.

Revenue Agency cadastral maps are published. Between the plateau and the slopes dropping to the streams the ground changes, and the report reads gradient and official maps for the address.
