Ronzone, the upper Val di Non towards the Mendola

Ronzone is one of the villages of the upper Val di Non in Trentino, on the plateau that rises towards the Mendola pass and the border with South Tyrol. It lies above 1,000 metres, among meadows, conifer woods and small villages close to one another, and has long been a summer retreat for families coming up from Trento, Bolzano and the plain.

The village has grown a great deal, and it shows: alongside traditional houses there are blocks of flats and detached homes built in recent decades, many used as second homes. Buyers should allow for climate zone F, the coldest in Italy's classification, with long, cold winters, and check the energy rating, heating system and service charges. In Trentino the rules on second homes and residency have their own particularities: ask the town hall before signing.

In 2023 there were 485 residents, up 24.0% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 45.5 is in line with the provincial 45.4; over-65s make up 24.5% and foreign residents 13.2%. Declared incomes are above the provincial average.

Earthquake hazard is low: Ronzone is in seismic zone 4 on the Civil Protection department's national scale, like 15 of the 166 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.050 g.

The land registry works differently in Trentino. The tavolare system applies here: ownership is checked in the land book (libro fondiario) kept by the Province, and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps. The report therefore cannot trace the land parcel from the address, and says so clearly; the other checks, such as landslides, avalanches and distance to services, still apply to the exact location of the house.

Key points

  • Upper Val di Non, on the plateau towards the Mendola pass.
  • Population up 24.0% since 2011.
  • Tavolare land registry: no Revenue Agency cadastral maps.

Overview

Ronzone is a municipality in the province of Trento, in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. At the end of 2023 it had 485 residents, ranked 145 of 166 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Ronzone is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 15 of 166 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.050 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list no contaminated sites in Ronzone.

Landslides and flooding

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

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 4 inhabited census areas in Ronzone. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 66 or more.
