Castel Campagnano, hills over the middle Volturno valley
Castel Campagnano is a village in the inland part of the province of Caserta, in the hills overlooking the middle Volturno valley, towards the border with the province of Benevento. The land is agricultural, with olive groves, vineyards and woods, and hamlets scattered between the valley floor and the higher ground. Caserta and Benevento are the towns for work and services.
Buyers will find village houses in tuff or stone and newer homes in the hamlets. In the former, the roof, damp and wall-to-floor connections matter; in the latter, the design, the structural test certificate and planning compliance. Climate zone C means mild winters, though fog and damp are common on the valley floor. You will need a car.
Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,441 residents in 2023, down 10.4% since 2011. The population is older than that of the province of Caserta: an average age of 47.2 against 43.1, with over-65s at 25.1% against 19.3%. Foreign residents account for 2.6%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
The municipality is in seismic zone 2, like 95 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.166 g. The Apennines of Campania have a significant earthquake history, so a structural survey of a masonry building before buying is advisable.
Near the Volturno the report checks the official flood maps for the address, and on the slopes the landslide maps. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report reaches the land parcel.
