Pannarano, at the foot of the Partenio on the Benevento side

Pannarano lies at the foot of the Partenio massif, on the side facing the province of Benevento, with the village gathered at the base of the mountains and woods rising behind it. For work and services people head down to the Valle Caudina and Benevento, while Avellino lies on the other side of the mountains.

The village is small and compact, with village houses, apartment blocks and detached homes built in recent decades on its edges. For buyers, aspect and slope matter, because close to the hillsides conditions change a lot from one street to the next: the report measures elevation and gradient at the address and reads the official landslide and flood maps. The climate zone is D.

According to Istat, Italy's national statistics office, there were 1,986 residents at the end of 2023, down 4.6% on 2011. The population is relatively young: an average age of 44.2 against 46.5 for the province, and over-65s at 20.2% against 24.6%. Foreign residents make up 2.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The most important issue for buyers is earthquake risk. Pannarano is in seismic zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of 0.210 g. Before buying, ask for the build year, the structural design and records of structural work, and for older houses get a surveyor's report.

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

For anyone buying in Pannarano, 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.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection.
