Camposano, a small town in the Nola area

Camposano is one of the towns around Nola, on the plain north-east of Naples, right next to Nola and the big logistics and wholesale hubs that surround it, the CIS trade centre and the Interporto freight terminal. The municipality is small and largely built up: its houses run almost without a break into those of neighbouring towns, and the remaining fields are at the edges.

People buying here often want to be close to work in the Nola area or to travel into Naples, reachable by car or on the Circumvesuviana, the local railway serving the Vesuvius and Nola areas. Housing is a mix of small blocks of flats, courtyard houses in the old centre and newer detached homes. The report measures the distance from the address to schools, pharmacies and shops; Overture Maps, an open map of places, lists 7 education sites.

In 2023 there were 5,020 residents, down 6.4% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 45.1 (43.2 across the metropolitan city of Naples), 21.5% of residents are over 65 and foreign nationals make up 2.0%. Households have 2.54 members on average.

Vesuvius lies to the south-west, but for buyers the first issue is earthquakes. Camposano is in seismic zone 2, like 75 other municipalities in the metropolitan city, and the expected ground acceleration is about 0.182 g. For a flat in a block from the 1970s or 1980s, ask for the structural design and check any work done under the sismabonus tax incentive; for an old tuff-stone house, look at the state of the walls and floors.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps and the report traces the address to the land parcel. On a plain crossed by drainage channels, flood hazard should be checked for the individual address, and the report does so.

For anyone buying in Camposano, 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.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 22 inhabited census areas in Camposano. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 61 or more.
