Campomarino, Arbëreshë village and beach next to Termoli

Campomarino has two parts, and buyers should keep them apart. The old village sits on a low rise a few kilometres inland and is one of Molise's Arbëreshë communities, founded centuries ago by refugees from Albania. Down by the sea is Campomarino Lido, which grew with summer homes and with families who work in Termoli, the neighbouring town just beyond the mouth of the Biferno river.

The Lido has changed the most: small villas, holiday complexes and low blocks of flats, many of them occupied only in the warmer months. If you want a home for the whole year, Termoli has the shops, secondary schools and fuller services; if you want a holiday home, look at the distance from the beach, the condition of the complex and the shared charges. Inland there is also Nuova Cliternia, a farming hamlet on the plain, and the border with Puglia is a little further south. Winters are mild here (climate zone C).

In a province where nearly every village is losing people, Campomarino is growing. At the end of 2023 it had 7,854 residents, up 11.1% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office, and it ranks number 3 by population among the 84 municipalities in the province of Campobasso. The average age is 45.0, against 47.6 for the province, and over-65s make up 22.1% (provincial figure 26.5%). Foreign residents account for 10.1%.

On the earthquake scale kept by the Civil Protection Department (Protezione Civile), 11 municipalities in the province are in zone 1, 64 are in zone 2 like Campomarino, and 9 are in zone 3. Expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.140 g. In the old village houses are masonry and often built against each other, while the Lido is mostly newer: either way, ask for the construction date and the paperwork for any structural work.

Near the coast and the Biferno, flood hazard changes from one street to the next and has to be checked address by address. The report does this starting from the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, which are published for Campomarino.

For anyone buying in Campomarino, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.
