Vione, from the high village to Stadolina in the upper Valle Camonica

Vione is a municipality in the upper Valle Camonica, the northernmost part of the province of Brescia in Lombardy, a short way from Ponte di Legno and the Tonale pass. The historic village is high up, above 1,200 metres on the valley side, while the hamlet of Stadolina lies lower down on the valley floor, where the river Oglio and the main road run. They are two different ways of living in the same municipality.

Buyers have to choose between them. Up high there are stone and timber houses, narrow lanes, views and long winters; down below, the convenience of the main road and links to the rest of the valley. The climate zone is F, so insulation, roof and heating are the main items in any assessment. Some homes are used as second homes by people who come for the ski areas nearby.

In 2023 Istat, the national statistics institute, counted 628 residents, 95 fewer than in 2011, a drop of 13.1%. Over-65s make up 35.2%, against 22.8% in the province, and the average age is 51.2. Average declared income is below the provincial level.

Vione is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection (Protezione Civile) classification, like 152 other municipalities in the province of Brescia, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.058 g. In old stone houses with timber structures, the condition of roofs and floors comes first.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report traces the address to the building. Along the Oglio and on steep slopes it reads the official landslide and flood maps for the individual spot.
