Pomigliano d'Arco, car plant, aircraft and the Circumvesuviana
Work in Pomigliano d'Arco means two large factories. One is the car plant opened in the 1970s as Alfasud and now part of the Stellantis group; the other is an aerospace site building parts for civil aircraft. Around them a network of suppliers employs people from across the area north-east of Naples.
The town is flat, on the plain running from Naples towards Nola, with Somma-Vesuvius in view to the south. The old core has the courtyard houses typical of Campanian farming villages, ringed by blocks of flats and gated residential complexes (parchi) built from the 1970s onwards, when the factory drew new families. The Circumvesuviana, the local railway, links the town with Naples and continues towards Baiano.
Many buyers come here for work, and the market reacts to what happens at the plants. Look at the condition of the residential complex, the service charges and the walking distance to the station, which the report measures from the front door.
Istat, the national statistics office, records 39,803 residents in 2023, down 0.7% on 2011. The average age of 43.8 is slightly above the province of Naples (43.2), over-65s are 21.3% and foreign residents 2.7%. Average incomes are higher than the provincial figure, a legacy of industry.
Pomigliano is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection scale, like 76 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.172 g. That is a medium-high value, and the 1980 earthquake was felt across Campania. For blocks built before the latest anti-seismic rules, ask for the design date and whether structural work has been done. The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps and the report finds the plot from the address.
