Pignataro Interamna, on the Liri plain near Cassino
Pignataro Interamna lies in the lower Liri valley, in the south of the province of Frosinone, among flat land and gentle rises a short drive from Cassino. The name recalls Interamna Lirenas, the Roman town whose remains lie in the countryside of the municipality. Today it is a farming and residential village that looks mainly to Cassino and its industrial area for jobs, secondary schools and services.
For buyers, this is plain country: detached houses with land, small scattered hamlets and a compact centre. The Cassino exit of the A1 motorway between Rome and Naples is close, which makes travel in either direction straightforward. On low ground near ditches and the river, it is worth looking at the flood maps, which the report checks at the exact address.
Istat, the Italian national statistics office, counts 2,403 residents in 2023, down 6.1% on 2011. The average age is 45.8, a little below the provincial 46.8, and foreign residents make up 5.8%. Declared incomes stay below the provincial average.
The Cassino area has a significant earthquake history. The municipality is in seismic zone 2 of the national classification, like 58 other municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the village is 0.146 g. Before buying an older masonry house, ask a surveyor how walls and floors are tied together and whether any strengthening work has been done.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report goes from the address to the land parcel and measures the distance from the house to schools, pharmacies and shops.
