Moio de' Calvi, on the Brembo in the upper Brembana valley

Along the Brembo river, in the upper Brembana valley, Moio de' Calvi is one of the small municipalities you pass driving up the valley beyond Piazza Brembana. The village sits at about six hundred and fifty metres, with the river below and wooded slopes all around, and it lives on commuting to the lower valley and Bergamo, as well as on holiday homes.

For buyers, the main question is distance from services. Schools, shops and doctors are in the larger villages nearby, and for hospital care and work people drive down the valley. The provincial road is the only link, and in winter, in climate zone E, ice and snow make journeys longer. Houses are mostly old, in stone or rendered, and should be assessed for the roof, damp and the heating system. Near the river and streams, the report checks the official flood and landslide maps for the exact address.
