Campofiorito, a farming village inland from Palermo

Far from the coast and from Palermo's traffic, Campofiorito is a farming village in inland Sicily, on a rise surrounded by hills of wheat, pasture and the odd vineyard. It is a small place: the basic services are there, but for hospital care, secondary schools and public offices people have to travel.

The population is ageing and shrinking. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,123 residents in 2023, down 15.7% on 2011, and over-65s make up 30.7%, compared with 22.8% across the province. The estimated average age is 48.8, against 44.7. Foreign residents account for 3.8%, and declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Buyers mainly find village houses on one or two floors, many of them empty for some time, and farmhouses in the countryside. The climate is zone D, with winters colder than on the coast, so look at insulation and heating. On the hills around the village the ground needs checking: the report reads the official landslide maps for the address and measures distances to the pharmacy, school and shops.

The Civil Protection Department places Campofiorito in seismic zone 2, like 80 other municipalities in the province of Palermo, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.129 g. For a masonry house, ask when it was built or renovated and whether any structural work has been done.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report goes from the individual address to the building's plot.
