Samone, a Valsugana village under the land book system

Set above the floor of the Brenta valley in the Valsugana, Samone is a small Trentino municipality with its town hall at around 670 metres. Around it are meadows, woods and slopes rising towards the mountains. The valley floor, with the Valsugana road and railway, connects it with Trento in one direction and the Veneto in the other.

The most important thing for a buyer to know is how property is registered. Trentino uses the tavolare system, inherited from Austrian rule: ownership is proved by entry in the land book (libro fondiario), kept by the offices of the autonomous province, and the maps are not published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate). For this reason the report on a Samone address does not show the cadastral parcel and says so clearly; searches have to be requested from the land book and the provincial land registry.

The population has held steady: 543 residents in 2023 against 544 in 2011. The average age is 47.3, above the provincial 45.4, and over-65s make up 26.5%. Declared incomes are below the Trentino average.

Climate zone F is the coldest, so insulation and heating weigh heavily on costs. The municipality is in seismic zone 3, like 147 of the 166 municipalities in Trentino, with an expected ground acceleration in the village of about 0.097 g; in older houses, ask how walls, floors and roof are tied together.

On an Alpine slope, landslides and debris flows along streams depend on the exact spot, so the report consults the official maps at the address, together with ground elevation and slope.

Key points

  • Valsugana village set above the Brenta valley floor.
  • Land book (tavolare) system: no Revenue Agency maps.
  • Stable population, 543 residents in 2023.
  • Seismic zone 3, expected acceleration about 0.097 g.

Overview

Samone is a municipality in the province of Trento, in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. At the end of 2023 it had 543 residents, ranked 143 of 166 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Samone is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (147 of 166) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.097 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

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

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. 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 4.6% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Samone declared an average taxable income of 21,587 euros, below the provincial average (25,718 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Samone is in climate zone F, with 3,441 heating degree days, with no limits on when heating may be used. The same table puts the town hall at 673 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 4.3% of the land in Samone, 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

Samone is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Provincia autonoma di Trento in 2026. 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 Samone.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Samone: 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 Samone 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 6 inhabited census areas in Samone. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 61 or more.
