Sant'Angelo a Fasanella, the cave of St Michael and the Antece
On the slopes of the Alburni mountains, Sant'Angelo a Fasanella is a stone village at around 500 metres, inside the Cilento, Vallo di Diano and Alburni National Park. Its name recalls the cave of San Michele Arcangelo, a church set inside a natural hollow in the rock, and on the mountain above the village stands the Antece, a warrior figure carved into the rock in ancient times.
The village is far from cities and the coast, and the main services are in the larger towns of the area. People buy here for a mountain home or to return to a family village. Houses in the centre are old and stone-built: before buying, check the roof, floors, damp and utility connections, and ask the town hall what can be done, since building work inside the park follows stricter rules.
The population has fallen sharply: 489 residents in 2023 against 718 in 2011, a drop of 31.9%, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 53.5, against 45.2 for the province of Salerno, and over-65s make up 38.9%. Foreign residents account for 12.5%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
The municipality is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection department's national scale, like 97 of the 158 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.136 g in the built-up area. For a masonry house, ask whether the house had structural work after the 1980 Irpinia earthquake, and with what paperwork.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality: the report traces the land parcel from the address and checks slope and landslides on the official maps for that spot.
