Falciano del Massico, below the hill of Falerno wine

Monte Massico closes off the north of Caserta province towards the sea, and Falciano del Massico lies at its foot, on the side that slopes down to the coastal plain. These are hills and fields in an area famous since Roman times for wine: Falerno del Massico is made here, and vineyards and olive groves cover much of the slopes.

It is a small farming village. Buyers mainly find detached houses with some land, family homes that have grown over the years and a few older buildings in the historic core. For work and services people rely on the larger towns nearby and on Caserta, and journey times should be worked out by car.

The population is shrinking: there were 3,372 residents in 2023, down 8.2% on the 2011 census. The average age of 45.6 is higher than in the province (43.1), which is one of the youngest in Italy, and over-65s reach 23.9% against 19.3% provincially. Foreign residents make up 6.2%. Average declared incomes are well below the provincial average.

For earthquakes, the municipality is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, like 95 other municipalities in the province, but the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is low for this zone, about 0.094 g. It is still worth asking when the building went up and whether it has been extended or had a floor added, which is common in family houses. On the slopes of the Massico the report also checks the official landslide maps for the address.
