Lodrino, a hillside village above the Val Trompia

Lodrino is a mid-mountain village in the Val Trompia, the valley of the river Mella north of Brescia. The village sits well above the valley floor, among meadows, woods and scattered hamlets, and winters are cold: it is in climate zone F, the same as Alpine resorts, so heating weighs more on household costs than down on the plain.

For a buyer the main question is getting around. Work in the valley is mostly in the engineering factories on the valley floor and in Brescia itself, and from Lodrino you drive down on mountain roads. In return you get a quieter life and houses with more land around them. In older buildings, look at insulation, windows and the boiler, and in the higher hamlets at snow clearing and winter access.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,636 residents in 2023, down 6.5% since 2011. The average age is 46.6, above the provincial 45.4, and over-65s make up 25.0%. Foreign residents account for 7.7%.

The municipality is in seismic zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.139 g. Across the province, 153 municipalities are in zone 3 and 52 in zone 2. With a stone house, find out whether the roof and floors have been rebuilt and how.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report reaches them from the address. In an area of slopes, gradient and the official landslide maps have to be read house by house, and the report does this for the exact spot.
