Tenna, the hill between Lakes Caldonazzo and Levico

Tenna occupies the hill that separates Lake Caldonazzo from Lake Levico, in the Valsugana, a short distance from Pergine and Trento. From either side of the village you can see the two lakes; around it are woods, meadows and orchards.

The municipality has grown in recent years, with family houses and small blocks of flats beside the old core, and some second homes linked to summer tourism on the lakes. Residents often work in Pergine or Trento and drive there. The climate zone is F: cold winters, with the heating on for a long time, so the energy rating makes a real difference to running costs. Declared incomes are above the provincial average.

In 2023 there were 1,063 residents, up 11.3% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 46.9 against 45.4 in the province, and over-65s are 25.1%. Foreign nationals make up 3.4%.

Tenna is in seismic zone 3, like 146 other municipalities in Trentino; 15 are in zone 4 and 4 in zone 2. The expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.084 g. For a house built before the latest standards, ask the seller whether any structural checks have been carried out.

Trentino uses the tavolare land book system: ownership is recorded in the Libro fondiario and cadastral maps are managed by the autonomous Province, not published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate). For this reason the cadastre section of the report shows as not available; for ownership and boundaries, consult the Libro fondiario and the provincial cadastre. The official landslide and flood maps are still checked for the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Tenna: 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 Tenna 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 19 inhabited census areas in Tenna. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 64 or more.
