Paisco Loveno, two villages in a side valley of the Valle Camonica

Paisco Loveno is named after its two villages, Paisco and Loveno, and covers the Val di Paisco, a side valley of the Valle Camonica that climbs narrowly between conifer woods and steep slopes. Houses are stone and timber, grouped in small clusters above eight hundred metres. Brescia is a long way off; schools, shops and services are down on the floor of the main valley.

If you are thinking of buying here, start with a simple question: how much time will you spend in the house, and in which season? In summer the valley is cool and quiet, ideal for woods and walking. In winter, climate zone F and the mountain road make everything harder work, and heating bills go up. On an old house, check the roof, insulation, wiring and plumbing, and access in snow.

In 2023 Istat, Italy's national statistics office, counted 167 residents, 31 fewer than the 198 of 2011, a fall of 15.7%. Over-65s make up 32.3%, against 22.8% in the province of Brescia, the estimated average age is 51.2 and foreign residents account for 0.0%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The province of Brescia spans two seismic zones. Paisco Loveno is in zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, like 153 of the 205 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.062 g. In a valley this narrow the report looks above all at the slopes and the stream, on the official landslide and flood maps for the exact address. Revenue Agency cadastral maps are published, so the land parcel can be traced.
