Valle di Maddaloni, home of the Ponti della Valle aqueduct
The Ponti della Valle, the great three-tiered viaduct of the Carolino aqueduct designed by Luigi Vanvitelli to carry water to the Royal Palace of Caserta, stand within this municipality and are its best-known landmark. The aqueduct is part of the Caserta palace UNESCO World Heritage site. Valle di Maddaloni fills a narrow valley between the hills east of Maddaloni, in the part of the province of Caserta that faces towards the Sannio area.
Caserta and Maddaloni are close by and hold most jobs, schools and services; Naples is reached by car across the plain. The village has a compact centre and newer areas along the main road. Buyers find detached houses, often on two floors with a courtyard, and small blocks with a handful of flats. The climate is zone C, with short winters.
Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,624 residents in 2023, down 6.5% on 2011. The average age is 44.3, slightly above the 43.1 of the province of Caserta, a young province by Italian standards. 20.2% of residents are over 65 and foreign residents make up 2.0%. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.
Valle di Maddaloni is in seismic zone 2, with an expected acceleration of 0.144 g. For a masonry building, ask whether it has been assessed or strengthened; for a newer house, whether it was built to current seismic standards.
Revenue Agency cadastral maps are published. In a valley enclosed by hills, slopes and water runoff vary from place to place, and the report reads the official maps for the address.
