Terre d'Adige, Nave San Rocco and Zambana north of Trento
Terre d'Adige is young as a municipality too: it was created in 2019 by merging Nave San Rocco and Zambana, two villages in the Adige valley just north of Trento, where the valley opens towards the Rotaliana plain. The valley floor is flat and planted with apple orchards and vineyards, and steep slopes close it in on both sides.
Being close to Trento is the main reason people look for a home here: the city is a few minutes' drive away while the landscape stays rural. Choice includes houses in the old village cores, detached homes and small recent blocks of flats. On a valley floor crossed by the Adige and drainage channels, check the official flood maps, and at the foot of the slopes the landslide maps; the report checks both for the address.
Unlike many small municipalities, the population here is growing: 3,099 residents in 2023, +2.9% compared with 2011. The average age is 43.7, below the province (45.4); over-65s are 20.3% and foreign residents 7.1%. Declared incomes are a little below the provincial average.
The municipality is in seismic zone 3, like 146 other municipalities in Trentino, with low expected ground acceleration of 0.061 g.
In Trentino property is recorded in the land register (the tavolare system) and the Revenue Agency does not publish cadastral maps for these municipalities. The report says so and does not identify the plot; for parcel details, contact the relevant land register office (Ufficio del libro fondiario).
