Puglianello, the Volturno plain west of Benevento

Puglianello is a lowland municipality at the western edge of the province of Benevento, on the Volturno plain. The village lies low, at around sixty metres, among fields, orchards and fairly recent houses. Telese and the other valley towns are close, and both Benevento and Caserta can be reached from here.

There were 1,298 residents in 2023, 5.9% fewer than in 2011. The average age is 46.6, practically the same as the provincial 46.5; over-65s are 23.3% and foreign residents 3.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The market offers village houses, detached homes and houses with land. On the plain, houses sit alongside through roads and businesses, so look closely at the setting of each house: traffic, neighbours, access. The climate is mild (climate zone C).

For earthquakes, the province of Benevento is split between zone 1, with 48 municipalities, and zone 2, with 30. Puglianello is in zone 2, but the expected ground acceleration in the village is 0.200 g, a high value. For any house, ask for the year of construction and the structural documents.

Near rivers the question to ask is about flooding. For the exact address the report reads the official flood and landslide maps and finds the land parcel using the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps.

For anyone buying in Puglianello, 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.
