Moio della Civitella and Pellare, in inland Cilento
In inland Cilento, a short way from Vallo della Lucania, the municipality of Moio della Civitella brings together the main village and the hamlet of Pellare, on green slopes of olive groves, chestnut woods and scrub. The name comes from the Civitella, the height that overlooks the village.
Buyers here will mostly find masonry houses in the two villages, often on several levels to follow the slope, and country houses with land. Vallo della Lucania is the local centre for the hospital, secondary schools and offices, and the Cilento coast is a drive away. The climate zone is D, with fairly mild winters. Average incomes are lower than in the province of Salerno.
Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,813 residents in 2023, 2.3% fewer than in 2011. The average age is 48.1, above the provincial 45.2, and over-65s make up 27.1% against 22.7% across the province. Households have 2.19 people on average.
The municipality is in seismic zone 2, like 96 other municipalities in the province of Salerno, with an expected acceleration in the built-up area of 0.098 g. In multi-storey houses built against the slope, look at walls in contact with the ground, damp and cracks, and ask for the permits for any extensions.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps. The report finds the land parcel from the address and checks slope, elevation and official landslide and flood maps.
