Magliano Vetere, inland Cilento among woods and hills
In inland Cilento, away from the beaches, Magliano Vetere is a small hill and mountain municipality inside the Cilento National Park. Besides the village it includes the hamlets of Magliano Nuovo and Capizzo, spread among woods and fields on sloping land. The coast is reached by car down the park roads, and the main services are in the larger towns of Cilento.
People buying here usually want a stone house in the village or a country house, often as a second home or to move away from the city. Before signing, check the state of roofs and walls, planning and cadastral compliance and the park's restrictions, which can limit extensions and new building. The climate zone is D, with mild winters that are a little colder higher up.
The population has fallen sharply: 563 residents in 2023 against 739 in 2011, 176 fewer, or 23.8%, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 52.9 and over-65s make up 36.2%, against 22.7% in the province of Salerno. Foreign residents account for 5.0%. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.
The province of Salerno has municipalities in three different seismic zones of the Civil Protection classification. Magliano Vetere is in zone 2, like 97 of the 158 municipalities, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.103 g. For a masonry house, an engineer's check on walls and floors is worthwhile.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published and the report finds the land parcel from the address. On hills and slopes, gradient and landslides are read plot by plot on the official maps.
