Striano, on the Sarno plain at the edge of Naples province

Striano lies on the eastern edge of the metropolitan area of Naples, on the plain of the river Sarno, where the municipality meets the province of Salerno. It is intensively farmed countryside, with vegetable plots, greenhouses and orchards between the houses, on low ground with Vesuvius on one side and the Sarno mountains on the other.

This is a young and growing town. At the end of 2023 there were 9,028 residents, 10.0% more than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 40.4 (province: 43.2) and only 16.1% of residents are over 65, against 20.0% in the province. Households average 2.65 people and foreign residents make up 9.2%. Declared incomes remain below the Naples average.

A large share of the land is built on, with houses strung along country roads and plots mixed in with fields. Before buying, check that the house as it stands matches what is recorded with the land registry and the town council, and that any extensions were authorised. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report uses them to find the plot.

The Sarno and its channels run across low ground, and the distance from the river varies a lot from one address to the next. The report reads the official flood and landslide maps at the exact point and measures how far schools, pharmacies and bus stops are.

Striano is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, like 76 of the 92 municipalities in the metropolitan area, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.158 g. In a house built in stages, with one floor added on top of another, have an engineer check how the structures are tied together.

For anyone buying in Striano, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.
