Mezzocorona, the Rotaliana plain below the rock wall

The rock face rising almost sheer behind the village is the first thing you notice when you arrive in Mezzocorona. The municipality lies in the Piana Rotaliana, the plain of vineyards north of Trento where Teroldego wine is made, facing Mezzolombardo, and a cable car runs from the village up to Monte di Mezzocorona, on the plateau above the cliff.

Transport links to Trento and Bolzano are good. Both the Brenner railway and the Trento to Malè line run through the village, and the motorway's San Michele all'Adige-Mezzocorona exit is close by. Homes on the market are mainly flats and small villas on the flat part of town, plus older houses in the centre; average declared incomes are in line with the province.

The village is growing. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 5,505 residents in 2023, up 6.7% on 2011. The average age of 44.9 is close to the provincial 45.4, over-65s make up 23.8% and foreign residents 10.8%. The data list 4 healthcare facilities and 4 supermarkets.

Mezzocorona is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, like most of Trentino (147 of 166 municipalities), with low expected ground acceleration of about 0.058 g. The risk to look at is a different one: below the cliff there are areas exposed to rockfall, and on the plain the Noce and the Adige make it important to check for flood-prone land. The report checks both sets of maps at the exact address.

Trentino uses the land book system (catasto tavolare): ownership and rights are entered in the land book, and the Revenue Agency does not publish parcel maps. The report therefore cannot trace the plot from the address and shows it as unavailable; for boundaries and ownership, check the land book and the provincial land registry.

Landslides and flooding

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