Campegine, Reggio countryside by the A1 junction
Anyone who drives the A1 motorway knows the name Campegine from the signs: the Terre di Canossa-Campegine junction lies within the municipality, between Reggio Emilia and Parma. The village sits on open plain west of Reggio, not far from the Enza, the river that marks the boundary with the province of Parma. Around it are fields, cattle sheds and dairies in the Parmigiano Reggiano area, with some workshops and logistics sites that have grown up near the motorway.
Buyers choose between the village itself, with detached houses, terraces and small blocks of flats from recent decades, and houses scattered across the countryside, often old farmhouses in need of renovation. Reggio Emilia is the place for work, secondary schools and the hospital; for trains, people use the stations in the towns along the Via Emilia, a short way to the south.
There were 5,351 residents in 2023 according to Istat, Italy's national statistics office, up 4.6% since 2011. The average age is 43.8 (45.3 in the province), and over-65s make up 21.0%, against 22.6% provincially. Foreign residents account for 15.0%, and households average 2.44 people. Declared incomes remain below the provincial average.
In the province of Reggio Emilia, 8 municipalities are in seismic zone 2 of the Protezione Civile (Civil Protection Department) classification and 34 in zone 3, Campegine's zone. Here the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.128 g. In brick farmhouses, have a surveyor check the load-bearing walls, timber floors and roof, especially if the renovation predates the latest seismic standards.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are available, so the report reaches the plot from the address. The plain is crossed by drainage and irrigation channels, and flood hazard varies from one area to the next, so it is read for the individual house.

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