San Tammaro, the Carditello estate and the Caserta plain
San Tammaro is home to the Real Sito di Carditello, the Bourbon kings' farming estate with its 18th-century lodge, which lay abandoned for years before the State bought and restored it. The village sits on the plain south of Capua, next to Santa Maria Capua Vetere, in flat countryside of arable fields and buffalo farms, not far from Caserta.
It is growing and its population is young. There were 5,785 residents in 2023, up 14.2% on 2011, or 721 more people, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The mean age of 40.0 is below the province of Caserta's 43.1, and over-65s make up just 15.1%. Foreign residents account for 4.0%.
For buyers, what counts is the proximity of Caserta and Capua and the roads towards Naples, since many newcomers work outside the village. Recent building is mostly detached houses and small blocks on the edge of the centre. For any property, new or old, check that it complies with planning rules: the actual layout must match the permits and the cadastral floor plan, and there should be no amnesty applications still pending.
In the province of Caserta, 96 of the 104 municipalities are in seismic zone 2, San Tammaro included. Expected ground acceleration here is about 0.117 g, lower than in the hill towns. For a reinforced concrete building, it is still worth asking for the design date and the structural inspection certificate.
The plain is crossed by drainage channels and the Volturno river is not far away, so flood hazard changes from one spot to the next. The report reads it for the exact address, starting from the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps. Climate zone C means mild winters.
