Frasso Telesino, the Taburno slopes above the Telese valley

Frasso Telesino sits on the slopes of the Taburno-Camposauro massif, in the province of Benevento, looking down over the Telese valley. The centre stands at around 370 metres, with stone houses gathered along steep streets, and the land around alternates olive groves, woods and sloping fields. Telese Terme, on the valley floor, provides services and transport links, while Benevento and Caserta are within driving distance.

The market offers houses in the old centre, newer buildings in the areas of later growth and farmhouses in the countryside. For old houses, the roof, floors and systems are what count; for farmhouses, also access, water and land boundaries, to be checked on the cadastral maps.

Istat, Italy's statistics office, counts 2,013 residents in 2023, down 16.3% on the 2,404 of 2011. The average age is 47.3, above the provincial 46.5, 27.2% are over 65 and foreign residents make up 2.2%. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average. This is climate zone D.

On earthquakes, Frasso Telesino is in seismic zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.189 g in the built-up area. Before buying a stone house, have an engineer look at it and ask whether any strengthening work has been done, with its design and inspection certificate. On the slopes of the massif, the report reads the official landslide maps for the address.

Revenue Agency cadastral maps are published, so the report can trace the address back to its plot.
