Casalciprano, a hill village in inland Molise

Among the fields and hills of inland Molise, Casalciprano occupies a rise at about 660 metres, in the province of Campobasso. The provincial capital, with its offices, hospital and university, is the reference for almost everything and is reached by car along provincial roads.

House hunters here mostly find stone buildings in the centre, on two or three floors, often with a cellar and storerooms at ground level, plus a few country houses. The climate is zone E, with cold, windy winters, and a poorly insulated house is expensive to heat. Before buying, look at the structure, the roof, damp and the services, in that order.

There were 444 residents in 2023, against 571 in 2011, a fall of 22.2%. The estimated average age is 53.6, compared with 47.6 for the province, and over-65s make up 36.5% (26.5% provincially). Households average 1.88 people and foreign residents account for 5.4%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Casalciprano is in seismic zone 2 on the scale kept by the Civil Protection Department, like 63 other municipalities in the province of Campobasso, and expected ground acceleration in the built-up area, about 0.248 g, is a high value. The province also has 11 municipalities in zone 1. For a stone building, ask whether the walls have been strengthened and whether the roof was rebuilt to seismic standards.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are available, and the report traces the address back to its land parcel. On the slopes landslide hazard is read for the individual plot.
