Colfelice, hills and the Liri plain in southern Ciociaria

Colfelice is a small municipality in southern Ciociaria, the area around Frosinone, set between the hills and the plain crossed by the river Liri. It has a compact old centre higher up and a newer part spreading down towards the plain, where the main local roads run and where businesses and shops are found. The A1 motorway between Rome and Naples passes not far away, making Frosinone and Cassino easy to reach, and Rome or Naples possible with more time.

There were 1,783 residents in 2023, down 3.8% on 2011. The average age is 47.4 against 46.8 in the province, and over-65s are 27.3%, above the provincial 25.4%. Households are small, with 2.10 members on average, and foreign residents make up 4.9%. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.

Buyers in Colfelice choose between a house in the old hilltop centre, with the slopes and small sizes of a village, and a detached house or small block of flats on the plain, easier for anyone who drives to work every day.

The Liri valley has had significant earthquakes. Colfelice is in seismic zone 2, along with 58 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.200 g in the built-up area. For a building from before the 1980s, find out whether it has been assessed or strengthened.

The report for an address checks the official landslide and flood maps, measures distances to services and finds the plot on the cadastral maps of the Revenue Agency.

For anyone buying in Colfelice, 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.
