Malonno, in the upper Valcamonica along the Oglio

Malonno is a municipality in the upper Valcamonica, in the province of Brescia, spread along the Oglio valley floor and up the slopes, with its main village at around 590 metres and several hamlets higher up among woods and meadows. Edolo is the nearby reference town for schools and services, while Brescia is far off, more than an hour and a half by road.

One practical advantage is the Brescia, Iseo and Edolo railway, with stops in the municipality, which makes it possible to travel along the valley without a car. Homes are mostly family houses, often stone-built in the hamlets and newer on the valley floor, and prices should be read together with the property's condition: many need work. Winters are long, climate zone F, and orientation matters a lot, because some parts of the valley get little sun in the cold months. The report measures elevation and slope at the address and checks the official landslide and flood maps, both on the slopes and near the river.

According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 2,978 residents in 2023, down 10.3% since 2011. The average age of 48.9 is above the provincial 45.4; over-65s are 29.5% and foreign nationals just 1.4%. Declared incomes are below the Brescia average.

The municipality is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.060 g, a moderate level. In stone houses, check the roof, timber floors and damp in the walls; for every home, insulation and the boiler weigh on winter costs.
