Marano di Napoli, the northern fringe towards the Campi Flegrei
From farming village to residential suburb of Naples: that is Marano's story in the second half of the twentieth century, when its population multiplied and apartment blocks filled the fields. Today the built-up area runs on without a gap into Mugnano and into Chiaiano, a district of Naples, and the town hall stands at around 150 metres on the high ground north-west of the city.
Much of the land is built over and little green space is recorded. Buyers will mostly find flats in apartment blocks, and should factor in traffic and parking. Trips into Naples are largely by car and bus, and the report shows for each address how far the nearest stop is.
Population figures have now levelled off: 57,740 residents at the end of 2023, up 0.9% since 2011. The average age is 42.7, a little below the provincial 43.2, and households have 2.65 members on average. Foreign residents are only 2.9%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
Marano is in seismic zone 2, like most of the province, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.158 g. It borders Quarto and the Campi Flegrei, the volcanic area west of Naples where ground uplift (bradyseism) has been causing swarms of small tremors for some years, felt here too. In the Civil Protection emergency plan for the Campi Flegrei, part of Marano falls within the red zone. Buyers should check the exact position in the municipal plan and ask for documents on the building's structure.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report finds the plot from the address. On sloping ground and where rainwater collects, landslide and flood hazard are assessed for the precise spot.
