Villa Lagarina, on the right bank of the Adige facing Rovereto
Villa Lagarina looks across the Adige at Rovereto. The village lies on the right bank of the river, in the Vallagarina, and its land climbs from the valley floor to hillside hamlets such as Pedersano and Castellano, among vineyards, woods and meadows. For work, schools and services the natural reference is Rovereto, just across the river, and further north Trento, reached via the Brenner motorway.
The market is made up of village houses, often renovated, detached houses and small blocks on the valley floor, and more isolated houses on the hillside, where sun exposure, the access road and winter snow count. Near the Adige and the streams running off the slopes, check the official flood and landslide maps, which the report reads at the exact point of the address.
The population is growing. In 2023 there were 3,881 residents, up 5.1% from 3,692 in 2011. The average age is 44.3, a little below the province of Trento (45.4); over-65s make up 21.9% and foreign residents 7.0%. Average declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.
Villa Lagarina is in seismic zone 3, like most of Trentino (147 municipalities), with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.113 g. For an old masonry house, what counts is the work done on walls, floors and roof.
Property here is recorded in the Land Book (Libro fondiario), the land registry system run by the offices of the autonomous province, and the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) does not publish cadastral maps. The report therefore cannot trace the plot from the address and says so; the other data for the location, from earthquakes to services, remain available.
