Casalattico, the Melfa valley and its ties to Ireland

In the twentieth century many families left Casalattico, in the Comino valley, for Ireland and Britain, and the link with those countries is still alive: in summer the children and grandchildren of the emigrants come back. The village lies along the valley of the river Melfa, in the eastern part of the province of Frosinone, among hills and wooded mountains.

This history has a practical side for buyers. It is not unusual for a house to belong to several heirs, some of whom live abroad: before negotiating, check with the notary (the public official who handles property sales in Italy) that inheritances have been registered and that all owners agree to sell. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report goes from the address to the land parcel, a useful first check on this too.

Earthquakes are the technical factor that weighs most. Casalattico is in seismic zone 1, the highest class on the national scale set by the Civil Protection department, together with 29 other municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.250 g. For a stone house that has been shut up for years, a structural survey before buying is a good idea.

In 2023 there were 525 residents against 641 in 2011, a fall of 18.1%. The average age is 49.5 (province: 46.8) and over-65s make up 30.9%, against 25.4% in the province. Foreign residents are 9.3%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Along the Melfa and on the slopes, the report checks the official flood and landslide maps for the individual address.

For anyone buying in Casalattico, 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 14 inhabited census areas in Casalattico. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 60 or more.
