Coreno Ausonio, a stone quarrying village in the Aurunci hills

Coreno Ausonio has been tied to stone for centuries: the quarries in its territory, in the Aurunci mountains, produce a compact limestone known as perlato di Coreno, used in building and interiors. The village is in the south of the province of Frosinone, towards the border with the province of Latina, on a rise at around three hundred metres. Cassino is the reference town for work and services, and the coast at Formia and Gaeta is not far off.

One practical tip for buyers: where quarries are working, heavy lorries may use the roads, so visit the house on a weekday and see how busy the street is. The centre has stone houses on several levels; on the edges there are more recent homes with gardens.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,514 residents in 2023, down 9.4% since 2011. The average age is 47.3 against 46.8 for the province, and over-65s make up 27.9%. Foreign residents account for 3.5%. Declared incomes remain below the provincial average.

Earthquake hazard is medium to high. The province of Frosinone has 30 municipalities in zone 1, 59 in zone 2 and 2 in zone 3; Coreno is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.108 g. For a masonry building, ask about any strengthening work.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report traces the address to its land parcel. On the limestone slopes, landslide hazard is read for the exact spot.
