Corropoli, a hill town in the Val Vibrata near the Adriatic

In the Val Vibrata, the northern corner of Abruzzo on the border with the Marche, Corropoli sits on a hill overlooking the valley, with the sea at Alba Adriatica a few kilometres away. For decades the valley has been a district of small and medium-sized firms, mainly in clothing, and many residents work in the industrial areas on the valley floor or on the coast.

The municipality has two distinct parts: the old centre on the hill, with brick houses and alleys, and newer housing that has spread down towards the valley and the main roads, with detached houses and small blocks of flats. The Val Vibrata junction on the A14 motorway is close, and Teramo, Ascoli Piceno and San Benedetto del Tronto are within driving distance. On the hill, check slopes and retaining walls; lower down, the distance from watercourses.

The town is growing. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 5,077 residents in 2023, up 6.9% on 2011. The average age is 44.8, against 46.7 in the province, and households have 2.55 people on average. Foreign residents account for 11.2%, over-65s for 22.3%.

The Civil Protection Department places Corropoli in seismic zone 2, like 36 other municipalities in the province of Teramo, while 10 are in zone 1. The expected ground acceleration is about 0.175 g. For masonry houses in the old centre and blocks built before the latest rules, ask for structural checks and records of any work carried out.

The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps and the report traces the land parcel from the address. The clay hills around Teramo are prone to landslides and the Vibrata plain can flood after heavy rain, so both are checked for the address.
