Ospedaletto d'Alpinolo, on the road to Montevergine

Ospedaletto d'Alpinolo is the village you pass through on the way up from Avellino to the Montevergine sanctuary, on the slopes of the Partenio massif. It sits high up, with its centre on the hillside and chestnut and beech woods above the houses. Avellino is close by and is where many residents work, while in summer the village draws people looking for cooler air.

The altitude matters for buyers too: the climate zone is E, with cold winters and some snow, so insulation and heating deserve a close look. Homes are mostly village houses, apartment blocks and small villas, some used as summer homes. On sloping ground the report measures elevation and gradient at the address and reads the official landslide maps, which are useful for houses near the wooded slopes.

At the end of 2023, Istat, Italy's national statistics office, counted 1,986 residents, up 0.8% on 2011, so stable. The average age is 45.3, against 46.2 for the province, and 20.7% of residents are over 65. Foreign residents make up 4.0%. Declared incomes are above the average for the province of Avellino.

Ospedaletto d'Alpinolo is in seismic zone 2, like 59 other municipalities in Irpinia, the Avellino area, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of 0.198 g. Before buying, ask for the build year, structural design and work carried out, and for older houses have a surveyor check them.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report goes from the address to the building's land parcel.
