Lucito, village houses and basic services in Molise

To understand Lucito, start with daily life. It is a hill village inland in the province of Campobasso, in the small southern region of Molise, where services are the basics and for everything else you drive to the larger towns and the provincial capital. The data show 1.58 pharmacies per 1,000 residents, against 0.55 in the province, and 3.16 school sites per 1,000 residents: in a small municipality these figures swing with a single facility more or less.

The population is older and shrinking. In 2023 Istat, the national statistics institute, counted 632 residents, 102 fewer than in 2011 (down 13.9%). Over-65s make up 35.8%, against 26.5% in the province, and the average age is 51.3. Foreign residents account for 9.8%. Average declared income is below the provincial level.

The market is mostly village houses in masonry, often on several floors with cellars or ground-floor storerooms, plus a few country houses. Buyers should look at the roof and floors, damp and winter heating costs; anyone planning to live here year-round should also consider the distance to the doctor and the pharmacy.

Lucito is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection (Protezione Civile) classification, like 63 other municipalities in the province of Campobasso, with an expected ground acceleration in the village of about 0.209 g. Before buying an old building, have an engineer assess how walls and floors are tied together and ask for the records of any work already done.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published: the report finds the land parcel and building from the address and reads gradient and landslide hazard for that point.
