Casagiove, the town that runs into Caserta

There is no open countryside between Casagiove and Caserta. The streets carry straight on from one municipality to the other, and most visitors never notice the boundary. The area is small and heavily built up, closer to a city suburb than to a village. Its best-known landmark is the large Bourbon-era military barracks, the Quartiere militare, built in the same period that gave Caserta its royal palace.

People usually choose Casagiove to be close to Caserta: offices, secondary schools, the hospital and the railway station are a few minutes away. Housing is a mix of post-war blocks of flats and older courtyard houses in the historic core. In such a dense setting, parking, traffic noise and which way a flat faces matter a great deal, and they can only be judged address by address.

At the end of 2023 there were 12,890 residents, down 5.9% from 13,705 in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The town is older than the rest of the province: average age 46.9 against 43.1, and 25.9% of residents over 65 against 19.3%. Foreign residents make up 4.7%. Average declared incomes are above the provincial figure. Healthcare sites inside the boundary are few (0.31 per 1,000 residents against 0.53 in the province), since people use those in Caserta.

Like 95 other municipalities in the province, Casagiove is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection map, with expected ground acceleration of 0.128 g. For a flat, ask when the building was designed, whether the frame is reinforced concrete or masonry, and whether it has been assessed or strengthened.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, so the report finds the land parcel from the address. With so much sealed ground, storm water has few places to go, so it is worth checking the official flood maps for the exact spot.

For anyone buying in Casagiove, 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.
