Lozzo di Cadore, on the Piave below the Marmarole
Lozzo di Cadore lies in central Cadore, in the Piave valley, at the foot of the Marmarole range. The houses rise from the valley floor up the slope, with fir woods and meadows above the village. Cadore is one of the historic centres of Italian eyewear making, and companies in the sector still operate in the valley. Calalzo station, the end of the railway line down to Belluno, is close by; Cortina d'Ampezzo is half an hour by car.
This is a mountain village with long winters, climate zone F. Buyers need to think about insulation, heating and roof maintenance, and check whether the house gets sun in the cold months: in a narrow valley, aspect makes a big difference.
The population is clearly falling. In 2023 there were 1,247 residents, down 16.7% on the 1,497 of 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office.

For a municipality this size, the data list 2 pharmacies and 3 schools.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report finds the plot from the address. On the slopes and near the streams running into the Piave, the official landslide and flood maps are worth a look, and the report checks them for every address.
