Mirabello Sannitico, hill village close to Campobasso

From Mirabello Sannitico to Campobasso is only a few kilometres by road, and that explains a lot about the village. It is a hill settlement in Molise, at around 600 metres, and much of its life depends on the regional capital: people who work in Campobasso's offices, hospitals or shops can live here and get home quickly. Around it are fields, woods and houses scattered over the hills.

The most interesting figure is age. The population is younger than the Molise average: an average age of 44.7 against 47.6 in the province, with 21.4% over 65 against 26.5%. Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,036 residents in 2023, down 5.6% since 2011. Foreign residents make up 2.8%.

Buyers will find houses in the old core, often stone-built with internal stairs, and newer homes on the edges with gardens and parking. It is climate zone E, so hill winters are cold and the energy rating shows up in the bills. Look at the aspect and the access road too, which can make a real difference in winter.

Earthquakes are the point not to overlook. Mirabello Sannitico is in seismic zone 2, like 63 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.232 g in the built-up area. Before buying an older house, asking whether seismic upgrading has been carried out, and with which paperwork, is the first check to make.

The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are published, and the report works from the address to the plot, alongside the official landslide and flood maps.
