Livo, a Val di Non village with the tavolare land registry

Livo is a small municipality in the Val di Non, in Trentino, with its town hall at about 740 metres and its territory split between the village and a few hamlets on the hillside. This is mid-altitude mountain country, with roads climbing up from the valley floor and the main services in the larger towns of the valley, reached by car.

For buyers, the climate comes first: zone F, with long, cold winters, so insulation, windows and the heating system need careful assessment. Homes are mostly village houses on several floors, sometimes with farm sections such as haylofts or storerooms; before turning these spaces into living areas, check with the town hall what planning rules allow.

The population has fallen: 769 residents in 2023 against 887 in 2011, down 13.3%. The average age is 45.8, almost the same as the provincial 45.4, and over-65s make up 25.1%. Foreign residents account for 5.3%. Average declared income is well below the Trentino average.

Seismic hazard is low: Livo is in zone 4, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.049 g. In older houses, the state of the roof, which has to carry snow, and energy use matter more.

In Trentino the land registry works differently from the rest of Italy: it uses the tavolare system, with a land book kept by the Province, and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps. The report says so and does not trace the land parcel from the address, but it still checks the official landslide and flood maps, elevation and slope for the location of the house.

Key points

  • Small mountain municipality in the Val di Non.
  • Population down 13.3% since 2011.
  • Tavolare land registry: no Revenue Agency cadastral maps.
  • Seismic zone 4, expected acceleration about 0.049 g.

Overview

Livo is a municipality in the province of Trento, in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. At the end of 2023 it had 769 residents, ranked 122 of 166 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Livo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 15 of 166 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.049 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 13.3%. The estimated average age is 46 years, in line with the province. 25% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 22%). Foreign residents make up 5.3% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 3.6% of the land in Livo, compared with 3.1% in the province and 2.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Livo is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Provincia autonoma di Trento in 2026. According to the ISPRA map, the estimated radon emission in the municipality is medium. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Livo. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Livo: 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 Livo 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.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 15 inhabited census areas in Livo. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 63 or more.
