Rivamonte Agordino, above Agordo and the mining valley
The Valle Imperina mines, where copper was dug for centuries, are now an industrial heritage site inside the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, and they lie within Rivamonte Agordino's territory. The village itself is higher up, at almost a thousand metres, on a terrace overlooking the Agordo basin and the Cordevole valley.
Agordo is the main town for school, healthcare and work, reached by a short stretch of mountain road. Buying here means choosing a village of stone and timber houses, often old family homes, with long cold winters (climate zone F, the coldest band) and sunshine that varies a lot from one hamlet to the next. For an older house, the cost of insulation and heating should be worked out before buying.
In 2023 there were 601 residents, 9.8% fewer than the 666 of 2011. The average age is 50.3, against 48.6 in the province of Belluno, and over-65s make up 32.1% of residents. Declared incomes are slightly above the provincial average.
The seismic zone is 2, the same as 26 other municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is around 0.148 g. In masonry houses it is worth having a surveyor assess the structure and asking what strengthening work has been done.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published, and the report finds the land parcel from the address. In a hillside municipality, landslides and stream floods need reading on the official maps for the exact location of the house, which is what the report does.
