Tramonti, hamlets in the Lattari mountains behind Maiori

Tramonti belongs to the Amalfi Coast but never reaches the sea. Its land is a green basin in the Lattari mountains, behind Maiori and Minori, and it has no real centre: it is made up of a dozen hamlets scattered among chestnut woods, pergola-trained vines and terraces. From the Chiunzi pass the road drops towards the Agro nocerino plain. The name is linked with wine and with pizza makers, many of whom left here to open pizzerias all over Italy.

Buying in Tramonti means choosing hills and mountains, not a sea view. Roads are winding, and reaching the coast, Salerno or the Agro takes longer than the distances suggest. Houses are often stone-built, on sloping plots with retaining walls, and the distance to schools and shops varies a lot from one hamlet to another: the report measures it from the exact location of the house.

In 2023 there were 4,153 residents, up 1.8% since 2011, which is rare for a mountain municipality in southern Italy. The average age is 44.0, below the province of Salerno (45.2), and over-65s make up 21.2%. Foreign residents are few at 1.6%, and declared incomes are below the provincial average.

In the province, 18 municipalities are in seismic zone 1 and 97 in zone 2 of the classification kept by the Civil Protection department. Tramonti is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.108 g. In a stone house, ask about the state of roofs, floors and retaining walls.

Steep slopes and terraces make landslide checks important, including the fast-moving flows that can come down in heavy rain. The report looks at them for the chosen address and, using the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, traces the land parcel.
