Quindici, the Vallo di Lauro between Irpinia and Nola

Quindici lies in the Vallo di Lauro, the valley at the western end of the province of Avellino that opens towards the plain of Nola. The village is built at the foot of the hills, with an old centre, newer houses along the valley roads and hazelnut and olive groves around it. For work and services people look towards Avellino and, even more, towards Nola and the Naples area.

The population is almost steady: 1,767 residents in 2023, down 1.0% on 2011. The average age is 45.8, close to 46.2 for the province, over-65s are 24.9% and foreign residents 3.5%. Households have 2.34 members on average. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Buyers in Quindici will find masonry houses in the centre, small blocks of flats and detached houses from recent decades, and farmland with small buildings. The village is in climate zone D, with winters milder than in inland Irpinia.

Quindici is in seismic zone 2, as are 59 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.174 g in the built-up area. For a house built before current standards, ask for the design, the inspection certificate and any later structural work.

At the foot of the slopes, the exact position of a property matters more than any municipal average. The report for an address checks the official landslide and flood maps, measures the slope and finds the plot on the Revenue Agency cadastral maps.
