Felitto, the Calore gorges in inland Cilento

Below Felitto the river Calore runs narrow between rock walls: these are the Calore gorges, popular with walkers and canoeists. The village sits above the valley at around 270 metres, inside the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park. Handmade fusilli pasta is the dish the village is known for.

The coast at Paestum and Agropoli is within driving distance, while Salerno, for the main offices and hospitals, is further away. The centre has stone houses on several floors, on sloping ground and sometimes with narrow access; around it are country houses, olive groves and fields. Buyers should check the structure, roof and damp. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

In 2023 there were 1,156 residents, 140 fewer than in 2011, a fall of 10.8% according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is older than the province of Salerno: an average age of 51.1 against 45.2, with over-65s at 33.0% against 22.7%. Foreign residents make up 5.2%.

Felitto is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, like 97 of the 158 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the village of 0.108 g. With an old masonry house, ask whether structural work has been done, with a design and sign-off, and budget for it if not.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps and the report traces the address to its land parcel. Between the river, the gorges and the slopes, flood and landslide hazard varies a lot from spot to spot and is checked on the official maps for the individual house.

Liveability area by area
