Casapesenna, a young town on the plain north of Naples

On the plain north of Naples, between Aversa and the Domitian coast, Casapesenna is a compact town that runs almost seamlessly into its neighbours, San Cipriano d'Aversa and Casal di Principe. The land is flat and densely built: about half of it is covered by houses, roads and yards, and what farmland remains lies on the edges.

Many homes are two- or three-storey buildings that families have built or extended over the years, often with one flat per generation. Before buying, it is essential to check planning compliance: that floors, enclosed balconies and other additions match the building permits and the floor plan held by the land registry, and that any amnesty applications have been closed. A trusted surveyor checking the paperwork at the town hall is money well spent.

The town is young and growing: 7,021 residents in 2023, up 5.6% since 2011, with an average age of 41.3 against 43.1 for the province and over-65s at just 16.2%. Households are large, 2.73 people on average, and foreign residents make up 9.9%. Declared incomes are far below the provincial average. Some services are found in nearby towns or in Aversa: Overture Maps lists 0.71 school sites per 1,000 residents against 1.11 in the province.

Casapesenna is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, like almost all of the province of Caserta, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.121 g. For houses that have grown floor by floor, the key question is whether the added structure was designed and inspected, because an extra storey built without calculations affects the whole building.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps: the report traces the land parcel from the address and checks the local hazard maps.

For anyone buying in Casapesenna, 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.
