Calvi Risorta, ancient Cales between Capua and Teano
Calvi Risorta takes its name from Cales, the ancient city whose remains, including a theatre and baths, lie within the municipality near the Via Casilina. This is the northern part of the province of Caserta, on the route between Capua and Teano, in a landscape of low hills and farmland.
The municipality is not a single compact town. Homes are spread between the main village and a few hamlets, with farmland and olive groves in between. People work in Capua, Caserta and the Naples area, and the A1 motorway passes nearby. Many homes are family houses built or extended in several stages, with a yard and outdoor space.
In 2023 there were 5,379 residents according to Istat, the national statistics office, 406 fewer than in 2011 (down 7.0%). The average age is 45.5, against 43.1 in the province, and over-65s make up 23.2%, against 19.3%. Foreign residents account for 3.4%.
Calvi Risorta is in seismic zone 2 of the Protezione Civile (Civil Protection Department) classification, like 96 of the 104 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.117 g. In tuff or mixed-masonry houses that have been extended over the years, check at the town hall that the extensions are authorised, and ask a surveyor how the old and new parts are tied together.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report finds the land parcel from the address. Ditches and small streams cross the countryside and some houses sit at the foot of the hills, so landslide and flood hazard are checked for the individual plot.
