San Mauro Marchesato, the inland hills of the Crotone area
Inland from Crotone, San Mauro Marchesato is a village in the hills of the Marchesato, the farming area between the Ionian coast and the first slopes of the Sila plateau. The landscape is clay hills planted with wheat and olives, with the village on a rise and open countryside around it. Crotone is the reference for work, the hospital, secondary schools and transport links.
Buyers will mostly find village houses, often on two or three floors, and detached homes on the edge of the village, with prices shown by the report as a range for the area. In older houses, look carefully at the wiring and plumbing, damp and window frames, and in the countryside at whether rural buildings are properly permitted. On the clay slopes, the official landslide maps are read for the address.
The fall in residents is marked. In 2023 there were 1,902, according to Istat, the national statistics office, down 13.2% on 2011. The average age is 46.6, against 44.3 in the province of Crotone, and over-65s are 26.9%, against 22.5%. Foreign residents are 3.5%. Declared incomes are just above the provincial average.
All 27 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection scale, and in San Mauro Marchesato the expected acceleration is 0.197 g. Before buying, ask for the year of construction, the structural design and the sign-off, especially for reinforced concrete buildings from recent decades.
The climate is zone C, with mild winters and hot summers. The Revenue Agency publishes cadastral maps and the report traces the land parcel from the address.
