Pago Veiano, a Sannio village above Benevento

The Sannio hills north-east of Benevento are planted with wheat, olives and vines, with small villages built on the high ground. Pago Veiano is one of them: it stands at around 480 metres and lives on farming and commuting to Benevento, which remains the reference point for work, secondary schools and the hospital.

The housing stock is mainly detached or two-storey houses, many built or rebuilt after the 1980s, alongside older homes in the centre. Buyers need a car, and the municipal data show 3 education sites, 1 pharmacy and 1 supermarket. Declared incomes are well below the provincial average.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 2,219 residents in 2023, down 12.8% since 2011. The average age is 47.6, compared with 46.5 in the province of Benevento, and 26.4% of residents are over 65. There are few foreign residents, 1.2%.

The Sannio is earthquake country. In the province, 48 municipalities are in zone 1 and 30 in zone 2; Pago Veiano is in zone 1, with expected ground acceleration of 0.261 g, a high value. Before signing, ask for the year of construction, the structural design filed with the authorities and any upgrade work, and for older houses have a structural engineer inspect the building.

Cadastral maps are available from the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate), so the report reaches the plot and checks the official landslide and flood maps there.
