Campobello di Mazara, olive groves, ancient quarries and the sea
Between Castelvetrano and Mazara del Vallo, in south-western Sicily, Campobello di Mazara stands on a low plateau covered in olive groves and vineyards, a few kilometres from the sea. This is olive country, within the area of the Nocellara del Belice variety. The municipality also holds the Cave di Cusa, the ancient quarries that supplied stone for the temples of Selinunte, where column drums still lie half-cut.
There are two parts to the municipality. The inland town has a centre of low houses, with newer blocks of flats on the edges. On the coast is Tre Fontane, a holiday settlement that grew up with second homes, busy in summer and nearly empty in winter. Anyone buying by the sea should have a surveyor check that the building is fully authorised and its distance from the beach, as well as the state of systems and roofs exposed to salt air.
Istat, the national statistics office, counted 11,340 residents in 2023, down 2.1% since 2011. The estimated average age is 46.8, over-65s make up 26.6% against 24.7% in the province, and households are small, at 1.98 people on average. Foreign residents make up 11.7%. Declared incomes are well below the provincial average.
The Belice valley, devastated by the 1968 earthquake, is not far away, and 6 municipalities in the province of Trapani are in seismic zone 1, the highest. Campobello is in zone 2, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.088 g. For the masonry houses in the town, ask whether floors and roofs have been worked on and under which permits.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report reaches the plot from the address. Flood hazard along watercourses and coastal erosion are checked for the individual house.
