Campli, the Holy Stairs and hamlets below the Monti Gemelli

Campli is a large municipality north of Teramo. Its main town stands on a hill at about four hundred metres, backed by the Montagna di Campli, which together with the Montagna dei Fiori forms the Monti Gemelli. The old centre keeps the Scala Santa, or Holy Stairs, a wooden staircase that pilgrims climb on their knees, and an archaeological museum with finds from the ancient burial ground at Campovalano, one of the municipality's many hamlets.

The territory is scattered. Besides the main town there are many small settlements between the hills and the valley floor, each with its own houses and access roads. Buyers should weigh up the hamlet before the property itself, because distances to shops and schools and the condition of the road vary a lot. For the hospital, public offices and secondary schools, people go to Teramo.

There were 6,536 residents in 2023, down 10.2% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 47.9 is higher than the provincial 46.7, and over-65s make up 26.9%. Foreign residents account for 8.2%. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Seismic hazard is high throughout the province of Teramo: 10 municipalities are in zone 1 and 37 in zone 2 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, where 1 is the highest. Campli is in zone 2, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.180 g. In an area like this, before buying, find out whether the building was damaged in the past, whether it received reconstruction grants and what structural work has been carried out and certified.

The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are published, and the report traces the address to its land parcel. Between the hillsides and the gullies of the valley floor, landslide and flood risk are checked plot by plot.
