Castelluccio dei Sauri, between the Tavoliere and the Daunian hills

Castelluccio dei Sauri is a farming village in the province of Foggia, built on a rise where the flat Tavoliere plain starts climbing towards the Monti Dauni hills. Wheat fields, olive groves and scattered farms surround it, and Foggia, the provincial capital, is where people go for work, hospital care and secondary schools.

The village is compact: two or three storey houses along regular streets, a few newer blocks on the edges, and farmhouses out in the countryside. If you are looking outside the built-up area, check access roads, utility connections and distances carefully, as they vary a lot from one property to the next. The climate zone is D, with hot summers and mild but windy winters.

According to Istat, Italy's national statistics office, there were 2,011 residents at the end of 2023, down 5.1% on 2011. The average age is 44.6, close to the provincial 45.2, and 22.0% of residents are over 65. Foreign residents make up 12.9%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The village is in seismic zone 2, like 50 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of 0.156 g. Before buying a masonry house, ask when it was built, whether its structure has been strengthened and what state the floors and roof are in.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, so the report goes from the address to the building's land parcel and shows the official landslide and flood maps for that exact spot.
