Villa d'Ogna, upper Val Seriana along the Serio

Villa d'Ogna is a village in the upper Val Seriana, in the province of Bergamo, on the floor of the Serio valley just below the Clusone plateau. It stretches between the river, the valley road and wooded slopes, with village houses, detached homes and some workshops and factories reflecting the valley's industrial tradition. Clusone is close for schools and services, and Bergamo is reached by driving down the valley.

The population has shrunk: 1,772 residents in 2023, down 10.1% since 2011, or 199 fewer people. The average age is 47.0, above 45.2 for the province, and over-65s are 25.6%, against the provincial 22.5%. Households have 2.20 members on average and foreign residents make up 4.3%.

Buyers will find flats in small blocks, multi-storey houses in the centre and detached homes on the lower slopes. Declared incomes are below the Bergamo average. The village is in climate zone E, with cold winters.

All 243 municipalities in the province of Bergamo are in seismic zone 3; in Villa d'Ogna the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.081 g. For a house built before the 1980s it is still worth knowing how the structure is made.

Between the Serio and the slopes, the maps to look at are those for floods and landslides. The report checks them for the address and finds the plot on the cadastral maps of the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate).
