Campagnatico, the hilltop village above the Ombrone valley
Campagnatico stands on a hill overlooking the Ombrone valley, in the Maremma hinterland north-east of Grosseto. The medieval village has stone houses packed along streets climbing to the upper part, and it is old enough to appear in the Divine Comedy: Dante names it in the Purgatorio when speaking of the Aldobrandeschi family. The municipality also includes a few hamlets scattered among hills, woods, olive groves and fields.
Buyers here mostly find houses in the old village, often on several floors and needing some work, and country farmhouses, sometimes large and isolated. With farmhouses, access, water supply, drainage and whether outbuildings and extensions were permitted all matter, as well as the state of the roof and walls. Grosseto, with jobs, the hospital and upper secondary schools, is reached by car, and the Maremma coast is not far.
Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,325 residents (2023), down 6.9% from 2,498 in 2011. The average age is 49.6, the same as the province of Grosseto, and over-65s make up 29.4%. Foreign residents are 11.4%, a fairly high share for an inland area. Average incomes are below the provincial level. There are 20 bars, restaurants and farm stays on record, a lot for a municipality this size.
Campagnatico is in seismic zone 3 under the Civil Protection classification, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.121 g; the province of Grosseto has municipalities in zones 2, 3 and 4. For a stone house in the village, ask whether the walls, floors and roof have been strengthened and under which permits.
The hill and its slopes need checking case by case, and on the Ombrone plain closeness to the river matters: the report checks the official landslide and flood maps at the exact address. The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps cover the municipality.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
