Campobello di Licata, farming hills inland from Licata
In the hills behind Licata, about three hundred metres up, Campobello di Licata is a farming town in the interior of the province of Agrigento, close to Ravanusa and Canicattì. Vineyards, olive groves and wheat fields surround it, and the coast is about twenty minutes' drive to the south.
The town has lost a lot of people in recent years. At the end of 2023 there were 9,018 residents, down 13.6% on 2011, or 1,420 fewer, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 45.9, close to the provincial 45.6; 24.5% of residents are over 65 and 4.2% are foreign nationals. Declared incomes are below the Agrigento average.
You can see this in the housing market. The centre has many empty houses, often inherited, at low prices but almost always needing work. If you are buying from a distance, perhaps to return to a family home town, have a surveyor look at the house before you make an offer and check that every part of the building is recorded in the land registry.
The province of Agrigento has municipalities in all four seismic zones of the Civil Protection classification: 3 in zone 1, 27 in zone 2, 12 in zone 3 and 1 in zone 4. Campobello is in zone 3, with expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.060 g, a low value. In older houses that have been altered several times, the roof, the floors and how the walls are tied together still matter.
On the clay hills of this area the ground can move, especially at the edges of the town and on steep slopes. The report checks the official landslide maps for the address, measures elevation and slope, and uses the cadastral maps published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) to find the plot.
