Rumo, scattered hamlets below the Maddalene in Val di Non

Rumo has no single centre: it is a group of hamlets scattered across a slope of the Val di Non, at the foot of the Maddalene range, a little below 1,000 metres. Between one cluster of houses and the next there are meadows, fields and woods, with mountains above. The busy roads are some way off.

For work and services people go down to the villages on the valley floor and to Cles, the main town of the Val di Non, and from there to Trento. Homes are mainly village houses, often old farmhouses with a hayloft, along with a few newer buildings. In climate zone F winters are long and cold, so insulation, heating and the roof are the first things to check, together with access on snowy days.

At the end of 2023 there were 786 residents, down 4.4% on 2011. The average age is 47.3, against 45.4 in the province of Trento, and over-65s are 27.5%, against 23.6%. Foreign residents make up 10.9%. Average declared income is below the provincial figure.

Rumo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest, along with 14 other municipalities in Trentino; the expected ground acceleration is about 0.048 g. For landslides, avalanches and mountain streams, the report reads the official maps for the exact address.

The land registry works differently here from the rest of Italy. Trentino uses the tavolare system: ownership is recorded in the Land Register (Libro fondiario) and the cadastre is run by the Province, while the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish parcel maps. The report flags this and does not trace the land parcel; boundaries and rights of way, which matter with haylofts and fields, are checked at the Land Register.

Overview

Rumo is a municipality in the province of Trento, in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. At the end of 2023 it had 786 residents, ranked 120 of 166 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Rumo 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 0.048 g, a low 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 4.4%. The estimated average age is 47 years, higher than the province average (45). 27% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 22%). Foreign residents make up 10.9% of the population. On average, a household has 2.1 members.

Rumo is in climate zone F, with 3,863 heating degree days, with no limits on when heating may be used. The same table puts the town hall at 944 metres above sea level.

The data shows no pharmacies within the municipality, against a provincial average of 0.3 per 1,000 residents.

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 1.4% of the land in Rumo, compared with 3.1% in the province and 2.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Rumo is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Provincia autonoma di Trento in 2026. According to the ISPRA map, the estimated radon emission in the municipality is medium. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Rumo. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Rumo: 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 Rumo 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 20 inhabited census areas in Rumo. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 59 or more.
