Tonezza del Cimone, the plateau above the Astico valley
A thousand metres up, with meadows, woods and a plateau overlooking the Astico valley, Tonezza del Cimone has been a holiday spot for families from the Vicenza area for decades, as the many flats and chalets used in summer and at weekends show. On Monte Cimone, which gives the village its name, stands the ossuary for the dead of the First World War.
This double character matters to a buyer. A house lived in all year and a second home shut for months have different needs: with a holiday home, look carefully at damp, systems left idle, service charges and the state of the roof after snow. The climate zone is F, the coldest, and the heating runs for most of the year.
Permanent residents numbered 512 in 2023, down 11.3% since 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The mean age is 50.0, against 45.9 for the province of Vicenza, and over-65s make up 32.2%, well above the provincial 23.4%. Foreign residents are 2.1%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
For earthquakes, Tonezza is in seismic zone 3, like 33 of the 112 municipalities around Vicenza, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.132 g. In buildings from the 1960s and 1970s, ask for the structural documents and a check on the state of the concrete.
The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are available, and the report traces the address to the land parcel. On a plateau ringed by steep slopes, the official landslide maps need reading for the exact spot, and that is what the report does.
