Novaledo, on the Valsugana valley floor between Levico and Borgo
On the floor of the Brenta valley, between Levico Terme and Borgo Valsugana, lies Novaledo, a Valsugana village at around 470 metres. The main Valsugana road runs along the valley, west to Trento and east towards the Veneto, which makes this a convenient base for people working in the provincial capital.
The village has grown, and the figures show it: 1,162 residents in 2023, up 14.1% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is young for Trentino, with an average age of 43.2 against 45.4 and over-65s at 18.4% against 23.6% for the province. Households have 2.32 people on average, and foreign residents make up 6.5%.
On the market you will find recent houses and small villas next to the older homes of the village core. This is climate zone F and winters on the valley floor are cold, so the energy rating and heating system weigh heavily on a home's value. Declared incomes are slightly below the Trentino average.
Novaledo is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like most municipalities in Trentino (147 out of 166), with an expected ground acceleration of 0.089 g. For a house built before the 1980s it is worth asking how the structure was built.
The land registry follows different rules here. Trentino uses the tavolare system, with the land book kept by the Province, and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish its maps: the report cannot trace the address to a land parcel and says so plainly. Checks at the exact location remain, such as flooding near the Brenta and landslides at the foot of the slopes.

Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Novaledo is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (147 of 166) are in the same zone.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.089 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.
Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
Population
Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has grown by 14.1%. The estimated average age is 43 years, lower than the province average (45). 18% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 22%). Foreign residents make up 6.5% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

Landslides and flooding
Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Novaledo: 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 Novaledo 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.
Liveability area by area
The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 13 inhabited census areas in Novaledo. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 53 or more.
