Mariglianella, a small young town on the plain between Naples and Nola

Mariglianella is one of the smallest municipalities by area in the province of Naples, and its built-up area runs almost seamlessly into Marigliano, from which it takes its name. It lies on the plain that opens out north-east of Vesuvius, between Naples and Nola: fertile farmland that over recent decades has filled up with houses, roads and shops. More than a third of the land is now built on.

People often buy here to stay close to family or to get more space for less money than in the towns right next to Naples. The Circumvesuviana railway to Naples crosses this part of the plain and the main roads to Nola and the city are close by, but rush-hour traffic is heavy, so it is worth measuring the real distances from the address to stations and services.

The striking figure is age. Mariglianella has an estimated average age of 40.6, against 43.2 for the province, and over-65s are just 15.8%, below the provincial 20.0%. Households are large, with 2.74 members on average. There were 7,938 residents in 2023, up 4.8% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office; foreign residents account for 3.0%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

The province of Naples has two seismic zones: 76 municipalities are in zone 2 and 16 in zone 3. Mariglianella is in zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.174 g. Many houses in the area have been extended or had storeys added over the years: before buying, check that any added floors are legal and that the structure was designed to carry them.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, and the report traces the plot from the address. On a plain this built up, where rainwater runs off the tarmac, flood risk should be checked for the individual address.

Key points

  • Average age 40.6, among the lowest in the province.
  • Large households: 2.74 members on average.
  • Seismic zone 2, expected acceleration about 0.174 g.

For anyone buying in Mariglianella, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.
