Casalduni, Sannio hills north-west of Benevento

Fields, olive groves and woods on the high ground: around Casalduni lies the farmland of the Sannio hills, north-west of Benevento, near Pontelandolfo. The village spreads over a slope. Benevento is the town for work, the hospital and secondary schools, reached by car.

The village has lost many people since 2011: 1,179 residents in 2023, 295 fewer than in 2011, a fall of 20.0% according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 48.6 against 46.5 in the province, over-65s make up 28.2% and foreign residents 1.7%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The question that comes before all others is earthquakes. Casalduni is in seismic zone 1, the highest class in the national classification drawn up by the Civil Protection department, like 47 other municipalities in the Sannio, with an expected ground acceleration in the village of 0.265 g. For a masonry house, ask when it was built, what structural work it has had and with what permits; for a reinforced concrete house, when it was designed and whether it meets today's seismic standards.

The market is small: village houses on two or three floors, detached homes with land and farmhouses in the countryside, many needing work. The climate zone is D, with winters that are not harsh but are damp.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published, and the report gets from the address to the land parcel. On the clay slopes, landslide hazard should be checked house by house on the official maps.

For anyone buying in Casalduni, 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.
