Pellizzano, in the upper Val di Sole between valley floor and woods

Pellizzano is a village in the upper Val di Sole, in Trentino, on the valley floor of the Noce river and the wooded slopes on either side. The town hall stands at about 920 metres, and the municipality also includes the small Fazzon valley with the Lago dei Caprioli, a popular summer walk. Tourism in winter and summer counts for a great deal in the valley, as the number of restaurants and places to stay shows.

Buyers here are often after a mountain holiday home or a permanent home in a valley with services and ski areas within reach. Homes range from traditional stone and timber buildings in the centre to flats in newer blocks. In climate zone F heating is a major cost, and so is the state of the roof, which has to carry the weight of snow. The report checks the official landslide and flood maps for the address, which is useful near the Noce and the side streams.

At the end of 2023 there were 798 residents, down slightly, by 1.6%, since 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 47.9, against 45.4 in the province, over-65s are 31.3%, above the provincial 23.6%, and foreign residents 8.0%. Average declared income is close to the provincial figure.

Pellizzano is in seismic zone 3, with 146 other municipalities in Trentino, and a low expected ground acceleration of about 0.051 g.

The land registry has a peculiarity. The province of Trento uses the tavolare system, based on the Land Register (Libro fondiario), and the cadastral maps are not published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate): so the report does not trace the land parcel from the address and says so. Ownership and rights are checked at the Land Register and the autonomous province's cadastre.

Landslides and flooding

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