San Giuliano di Puglia, Lower Molise hills towards Apulia
The name gives away its position: San Giuliano di Puglia is a village in Lower Molise, on the hills that slope down from the province of Campobasso towards the border with Apulia (Puglia). Around the village lie wheat fields, olive groves and a few vineyards, in a rolling, open landscape. For work and services people travel to Larino, to Termoli on the coast or to Campobasso, all reachable by car.
The market is that of a small farming village: houses in the village, often detached with a little outdoor space, and rural homes in the countryside. If you are buying from a distance, the report measures how far schools, the pharmacy and shops are from the exact location of the house; in a village of this size they are few and concentrated in the centre.
In 2023 there were 975 residents, down 7.8% from 1,057 at the 2011 census, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 48.1, close to the 47.6 of the province of Campobasso, and over-65s are 27.4%, against 26.5%. Households average 2.27 people and foreign residents make up 2.3%.
San Giuliano di Puglia is in seismic zone 2, as classified by the Civil Protection Department, like 64 of the 84 municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of 0.209 g. As with any purchase in this area, the year of construction, the structural design and the final inspection certificate are documents to ask for before signing.
The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps. The report starts from the address, finds the land parcel and checks the official landslide and flood maps for the slopes and the gullies running down from the hills.
