Carlantino, Daunian hills above Lake Occhito
From the village you can see Lake Occhito, the large reservoir built on the river Fortore along the border between Apulia and Molise. Carlantino sits in the northern Monti Dauni, the band of hills and uplands that closes off the west of the province of Foggia, and the town hall stands at about 550 metres: a farming village, far from the cities, surrounded by wheat fields and pasture.
The population has fallen sharply. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 791 residents at the end of 2023, 249 fewer than the 1,040 of 2011, a drop of 23.9%. The average age is 49.3, against 45.2 in the province, over-65s are 28.2% and foreign residents 3.0%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
People buying here are usually after a village house, space and quiet, or somewhere to come back to in summer. Houses in the centre are often old and should be assessed by a surveyor: roof, floors, damp and the heating and electrics. Winters in climate zone D are cool and windy, so heating costs need to be factored in.
Earthquakes are the most sensitive point. Carlantino is in seismic zone 2, like 51 of the 61 municipalities in the province of Foggia, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.200 g. Before buying, find out whether the building has had structural work, with what paperwork, and whether the house shares walls with others.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published, and the report finds the land parcel from the address. On slopes and clay ground, gradient and landslide hazard are checked for the exact spot on the official maps.

For anyone buying in Carlantino, 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
