San Pietro Infine, the village rebuilt below its 1943 ruins

The old village of San Pietro Infine, on the mountainside, was destroyed in the fighting of winter 1943 along the German line that blocked the road to Cassino. The ruins have been left as they were and now form a memorial park, while the inhabited village was rebuilt lower down, near the plain. This is the far north of the province of Caserta, right by the border with Lazio, in the valley followed by the Via Casilina and the A1 motorway.

Buyers here mostly find post-war houses and newer buildings in the rebuilt village, plus country houses. Being close to the motorway makes commuting towards Cassino or Caserta possible. This is climate zone C, with mild winters. For houses at the foot of the slopes or near drainage ditches, the report reads the official landslide and flood maps for the exact address.

The population has fallen: at the end of 2023 there were 806 residents, down 15.1% from 949 in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The village is older than its province, with an average age of 48.1 against 43.1, and over-65s at 27.9% against 19.3% provincially. Foreign residents are 3.2%, and average declared income is below the provincial average.

For earthquakes, San Pietro Infine is in zone 2, with 95 other municipalities in the province, and an expected ground acceleration of about 0.193 g. For a building from the reconstruction years, ask for the design documents and check whether any structural work has been done since.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report links the address to its land parcel.
