Reino, farmland and hills in the inland Sannio

Wheat fields, olive groves and woodland surround Reino, a small hill village in the interior of the province of Benevento. It sits at around 400 metres, with a compact old core and newer houses along the roads out of the village; the rest of the land is farmland, made up of smallholdings and scattered houses.

The reference point for work, the hospital and secondary schools is Benevento, reached by car along provincial roads; the village itself keeps only the basic services. Buyers here mainly find detached houses and homes in the old centre, which need careful checks on structure, wiring and plumbing, and damp. The climate zone is D and declared incomes remain below the provincial average.

In 2023 there were 1,093 residents, down 13.4% on 2011. The population is older than the province's: average age 48.8 against 46.5, over-65s at 30.1% against 24.6%. Foreign nationals make up 4.2%.

Earthquakes are the first issue to deal with. Reino is in seismic zone 1, the most hazardous, like 47 other municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.256 g. For a masonry house, ask when it was built, whether seismic strengthening work has been done and what paperwork backs it up; a structural engineer's survey before you make an offer pays for itself.

On the hillsides, the report checks the official landslide maps for the exact address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so you can trace the land parcel.

For anyone buying in Reino, 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. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 4 inhabited census areas in Reino. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 60 or more.
