Aiello del Sabato, the Sabato valley on Avellino's doorstep
Heading south from Avellino down the valley of the river Sabato, Aiello del Sabato is one of the first villages you reach: a small municipality at around 400 metres that in recent decades has become largely residential for people working in the provincial capital. In the background are the Terminio mountains, where the Sabato rises.
The market is mainly detached houses and small villas with gardens, recent blocks of flats and a smaller old core. Being close to Avellino matters: secondary schools, the hospital and offices are a short drive away. Average declared incomes are slightly above the provincial average.
The population is much younger than the provincial average. In 2023 there were 3,995 residents, broadly stable since 2011 (up 0.6%, according to Istat, the national statistics office), with an average age of 43.9 against 46.2 for the province. Over-65s are just 18.4%, foreign residents 2.1%, and households have 2.55 members on average.
Irpinia is one of the most earthquake-prone areas in Italy: 58 municipalities in the province of Avellino are in seismic zone 1 of the Civil Protection classification and 60 in zone 2. Aiello del Sabato is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.183 g. For houses built or rebuilt after 1980 it is worth tracking down the design and inspection documents; older ones need a structural survey before purchase.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report traces the address back to its plot. In the lower part near the Sabato, and on the slopes towards the mountains, landslide and flood hazard are read from the official maps for the precise point of the house.
