Giuliano Teatino, olive-covered hills between Chieti and the sea

Between Chieti and the Adriatic coast the hills are covered in olive groves and vineyards, and Giuliano Teatino sits on one of them. It is a small, compact village with its centre on top and country houses scattered along the roads that run down to the valley floors. Chieti and Pescara are the reference cities for work and services, and the sea is close.

Buyers choose between the centre, with family houses that are often dated, and the countryside, with farmhouses, small villas and cultivated land. The ground matters a great deal: on hillsides the official landslide maps need to be read for the individual address. The report does this, together with the gradient and distances to schools and shops.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,126 residents in 2023, down 11.3% on 2011, or 144 fewer people. The estimated average age is 49.9 against 47.4 for the province, and over-65s account for 30.8%. Foreign residents make up 5.1%. Declared incomes are lower than the provincial average.

The province of Chieti spans three seismic zones: 22 municipalities in zone 1, 55 in zone 2 and 27 in zone 3. The Civil Protection Department places Giuliano Teatino in zone 2, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.138 g. For a masonry or concrete house built before current rules, ask for records of structural work and, if there are none, have an engineer check it.

The climate is zone D, with winters that are not harsh. Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published, and the report finds the plot.
