Rogno, the Bergamo side of the Val Camonica above Lake Iseo

The Val Camonica belongs almost entirely to the province of Brescia, but its lowest stretch, just north of Lake Iseo, has a Bergamo side: Rogno sits there, on the right bank of the river Oglio, with homes and business areas on the valley floor and wooded slopes rising towards the mountains. Lovere and Costa Volpino, on the lake, are a few minutes away, and across the river lies the Brescia side of the valley.

This is a place to work rather than holiday. Factories and industrial units on the valley floor provide jobs, and homes are mostly detached houses, small blocks of flats and older houses in the hamlets on the slope. On the valley floor, look at how close a house is to busy roads and industrial sites; on the slope, winter access, gradient and sun exposure matter. Average declared incomes are slightly below the Bergamo average.

In 2023 there were 3,813 residents, down 1.9% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age of 45.2 is the same as the province, over-65s make up 22.2% and foreign residents 12.1%.

All 243 municipalities in the province of Bergamo are in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection Department's scale, and in Rogno the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.101 g. The hazard is moderate; for a 1970s block of flats it is still worth asking whether the structure has been checked, as well as the condition of the roof and façades. Climate zone E means cold winters on the valley floor.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report traces the plot. Between the Oglio and the streams coming down the slopes, flood and landslide hazards are checked at the address, because they vary a lot across the municipality.

Key points

  • Lower Val Camonica, Bergamo bank of the Oglio, above Lake Iseo.
  • 3,813 residents in 2023, foreign residents at 12.1%.
  • Whole province in seismic zone 3; here about 0.101 g.
  • Valley floor or slope: very different risks and convenience.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.

Landslides and flooding

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

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 23 inhabited census areas in Rogno. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 69 or more.
