Romeno, on the upland of upper Val di Non

Romeno lies in upper Val di Non, the Trentino valley known for its apple orchards, on an upland at almost a thousand metres. Meadows, orchards and woods surround the village, with mountains closing the horizon. Cles is the main town of the valley, while Trento is a drive down the valley.

Romeno's population is growing. According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 1,496 residents in 2023, up 8.9% on 2011. The average age is 45.7, close to 45.4 for the province; over-65s make up 25.9% and foreign residents 9.3%. Declared incomes are below the Trentino average.

At this altitude buyers have to reckon with the climate: climate zone F means long, cold winters, so insulation, windows and the heating system make a big difference to running costs. Traditional stone houses in the old centres sit alongside newer buildings on the edges of the village.

Trentino uses the land book system (catasto tavolare), and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps here. The report says so and provides the other data for the address, while ownership and plot boundaries are checked at the Land Registry Office (Libro fondiario).

Romeno is in seismic zone 3, like 147 of the 166 municipalities in Trentino, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.051 g, a low value. On slopes, the report checks the gradient and the official landslide maps.

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

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
