Lona-Lases, porphyry and a lake in the Val di Cembra
The municipality joins two villages, Lona and Lases, on the side of the Val di Cembra, the valley of the Avisio north-east of Trento. Work here has long been tied to porphyry, the reddish stone quarried in the area and used to pave streets and squares all over Italy. Below Lases lies the small lake of the same name, ringed by woods.
Trento is close enough for commuting, and the population is younger than the Trentino average. Buyers will find stone village houses, often extended over time, and newer homes; winters are those of climate zone F, the coldest category, so insulation and the heating system are the first things to check.
At the end of 2023 there were 865 residents, just below the 876 of 2011 (a fall of 1.3%). The average age is 43.8, below 45.4 for Trentino, and over-65s are 20.3%, against 23.6% in the province. Foreign residents are 12.8%. Average declared income is below the provincial figure.
Lona-Lases is in seismic zone 3 (zone 1 being the most hazardous), like 147 of the 166 municipalities in Trentino, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.066 g. In older houses, look at the roof and at how walls and floors are tied together, especially where extra storeys have been added.
On property records the difference from the rest of Italy is clear: Trentino uses the land register system (tavolare) kept by the Province, and the Revenue Agency does not publish cadastral maps for this municipality. The report therefore cannot identify the plot from the address and says so, while the official landslide and flood maps are still checked at the location of the house.

Overview
Lona-Lases is a municipality in the province of Trento, in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. At the end of 2023 it had 865 residents, ranked 114 of 166 municipalities in the province.
Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Lona-Lases is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (147 of 166) are in the same zone.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.066 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.
Population
Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 1.3%. The estimated average age is 44 years, lower than the province average (45). 20% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 22%). Foreign residents make up 12.8% of the population. On average, a household has 2.4 members.

Landslides and flooding
Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Lona-Lases: 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 Lona-Lases 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 12 inhabited census areas in Lona-Lases. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 61 or more.
