Camporeale, vines and wheat in the upper Belice

Camporeale is a farming town in the interior of the province of Palermo, in the upper Belice area, where the hills open out towards the province of Trapani. It sits at around 440 metres on a rise surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and wheat fields that change colour with the seasons. Vines are the main crop, and many families work in wine businesses or sell their grapes to local wineries.

Palermo can be reached by car on a long commute; Alcamo and Partinico are the larger towns for shopping and services. The town has a regular layout, with straight streets and masonry houses of one or two storeys. In the countryside there are old farm complexes (bagli) and rural houses, many with land, which may interest anyone looking for a country home in western Sicily.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 2,936 residents in 2023, down 14.8% since 2011, a steep fall. The average age of 44.3 is in line with the provincial 44.7; over-65s make up 22.3% and foreign nationals 1.5%. Declared incomes are among the lowest in the province.

Camporeale is in seismic zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.168 g, and the Belice valley has a well-known seismic history. For a masonry house, find out the year of construction and whether structural work has been done, with the related permits. Climate zone C means mild winters and hot summers. On the clay hills the report checks gradient and the official landslide maps for the address.
