Curti, on the Appian Way between Santa Maria Capua Vetere and Caserta

You cross from Santa Maria Capua Vetere into Curti without noticing. The municipality is small and almost entirely built up, squeezed between its neighbour and the Caserta area, with more than half of its land urbanised. The main road follows the line of the ancient Appian Way, and beside it stands the Conocchia, a tower-shaped Roman mausoleum that is the town's best-known landmark.

Buying here means buying proximity. Caserta, plus the station and services of Santa Maria Capua Vetere, starting with the law courts, are minutes away. The market is mostly flats in small blocks and terraced houses with little private green space, and parking needs checking case by case.

At the end of 2023 there were 6,644 residents according to Istat, the national statistics office, down 6.6% since 2011. Curti is older than the average for the Caserta area, which is one of the youngest provinces in Italy: estimated average age 45.3 against 43.1, over-65s at 22.5% against 19.3%. Foreign residents make up 5.3%. Declared incomes are above the provincial average.

For earthquakes Curti is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, like 96 of the 104 municipalities in the province of Caserta, and expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.124 g. In a block from the 1970s or 1980s, ask for the structural sign-off certificate, check for extra floors or verandas added later, and find out whether any amnesty applications for unauthorised building work are still pending.

With so much ground covered, heavy rain can leave water standing in the streets and in basements. The report checks flood hazard for the address and finds the plot on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps.
