Crispano, a small, densely built town north of Naples

Crispano has a tiny territory, almost entirely built over, in the belt of towns that run into each other north of Naples. It borders Caivano and Cardito and lies close to Frattamaggiore, in an area where one town merges into the next and only the road signs tell you where the boundary is. Little farmland is left, and the old centre with its courtyards is surrounded by blocks of flats built mostly between the 1960s and the 1990s.

People buy here mainly for lower prices than in Naples and the towns closest to it, with the city reachable by car along the main roads of the northern area. Declared incomes are below the provincial average. The stock is flats in apartment blocks and houses around the old courtyards, often split between several owners, so it pays to check property boundaries and whether extensions and added floors were properly authorised.

Istat, the national statistics office, recorded 11,747 residents in 2023, down 5.4% since 2011. Households are large, with 2.90 members on average, and the population is young: estimated average age 41.2, with over-65s at 15.8% against 20.0% in the province. Foreign residents are only 1.0%. For shops and eating out, people often go to neighbouring towns: the bars and restaurants recorded here come to 1.19 per 1,000 residents, against 4.49 across the province.

Crispano is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection Department's scale, like 76 of the 92 municipalities in the province of Naples, and expected ground acceleration is about 0.157 g. Many buildings in the area went up quickly during the building boom, so for a flat in a block from that period ask for the structural design, the completion certificate (collaudo) and any later structural work.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report finds the plot from the address. On flat land so heavily covered by tarmac and concrete, the hazard to check for the individual address is flooding during heavy storms.

Key points

  • Small, almost fully built-up area next to Caivano and Cardito.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Crispano is in seismic zone 2, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible. Most municipalities in the province (76 of 92) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.157 g, a medium-high value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

For anyone buying in Crispano, 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.
