Valle dei Mòcheni is characterised by the presence of a considerable number of houses which are
inhabited only in certain periods. They amount to 40% of the whole, which is little more than the
province’s average. The remaining 60% of houses are inhabited (Table 5). The main reason for failure
to use buildings is connected to the fact that these are second homes, mainly used for holidays. Even
complete failure-to-use is one of the main reasons for which buildings are not inhabited (Table 23).
This project is implemented trough the CENTRAL EUROPE programme co-financed by ERDF
