For example: Via Quattro Novembre 1, Mezzana.

Mezzana, Val di Sole and the Marilleva slopes

In the Val di Sole, along the river Noce, Mezzana is one of the villages that live off winter and summer tourism. Its territory includes Marilleva, the ski resort linked to the Folgarida area, and the village is the terminus of the Trento-Malè-Mezzana railway, which runs down the valley towards Trento. The centre lies above 900 metres, in climate zone F, the coldest category.

This shows in the housing market. Alongside residents' homes there are many flats used as second homes and apartment blocks built for skiing, with service charges and running costs that need careful scrutiny. If you plan to live here all year, insulation, the heating system and a roof designed for snow are what count. For a village of this size there are plenty of bars, restaurants and hotels.

The population is almost stable: 875 residents in 2023, down 1.0% from 884 in 2011. The average age is 45.3, in line with 45.4 for Trentino as a whole, over-65s are 23.9% and foreign residents 6.2%.

For earthquakes, Mezzana is in seismic zone 3 (on a scale where 1 is the most hazardous), like 147 of the 166 municipalities in Trentino, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.051 g. In the mountains, snow, avalanches and streams often matter more than earthquakes: the report checks the official maps at the exact location of the house.

Property here is recorded in the land register system (tavolare) kept by the autonomous Province, and the Revenue Agency does not publish cadastral maps for the municipality. The report therefore cannot trace the plot from the address and says so; the other checks on the address still apply.

Landslides and flooding

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