Campofelice di Fitalia, a hill village inland from Palermo
Far from the coast and the traffic of Palermo, Campofelice di Fitalia sits in the hills of the province's interior, above seven hundred metres. It is a farming village with a small centre and open countryside around it; for offices, hospitals and secondary schools people drive to the larger towns and to Palermo.
The village has lost many residents in recent years. In 2023 there were 435, against 548 in 2011, a fall of 20.6%. The estimated average age is 48.2 (provincial figure 44.7) and over-65s make up 27.8%, above the 23.2% for Sicily. Foreign residents are very few, at 0.7%. Declared incomes are well below the provincial average.
Buyers here are usually after a large house at a modest price, or returning to the family's home village. Houses in the centre are often old and need a careful look at the roof, leaks, plumbing and electrics, and the condition of the floors. Climate zone D means winters cooler than many expect in Sicily, especially at this height, so insulation matters.
Earthquake hazard is moderate. Campofelice di Fitalia is in seismic zone 2 of the national classification kept by the Civil Protection Department, like nearly all of the province of Palermo (81 of 82 municipalities), with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.112 g. For a masonry house, ask whether any structural work has been done and under which permits.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the municipality's cadastral maps, and the report finds the land parcel from the address. Landslide and flood hazard depend on slopes and watercourses, so they are checked on the official maps for the exact spot, not for the village as a whole.
