Frattamaggiore, hemp and the area north of Naples

Until the mid-twentieth century Frattamaggiore lived on hemp: the fibre was processed here and made into ropes and twine sold far afield. Little remains of those fields today. The municipality lies in the belt north of Naples, towards the Aversa area, and its small territory is almost entirely built up, joined seamlessly to neighbouring towns such as Grumo Nevano and Frattaminore.

It is a town with plenty of services for its surroundings: secondary schools, clinics, shops. The data record 42 schools, 1.47 per 1,000 residents against 0.87 in the province, and 34 healthcare facilities, also well above average per resident. The downside is density: narrow streets, little green space, hard parking. Buyers mostly find flats in buildings of different periods and courtyard houses in the old centre, around the basilica of San Sossio.

There were 28,595 residents in 2023, down 5.4% since 2011. The population is a little older than the metropolitan area as a whole: estimated average age 45.0 against 43.2, over-65s at 22.8%. Households are still large, 2.59 people on average, and foreign residents make up 4.3%. Average declared incomes are slightly above the provincial figure.

The seismic zone is 2, as for 76 municipalities in the province of Naples, and expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.160 g. In such a dense fabric of old buildings, often raised by extra floors over the years, the key question is simple: when was the building put up, and what has been done to it since. Around Naples, storeys added without permits are not rare, so check that the top floor is fully legal.

The report starts from the address and returns the cadastral plot, natural hazards and real distances to schools, pharmacies and stops.
