Positioned across the historical Ager Campanus flatlands, Orta di Atella sits in the Agro Aversano district just 15 kilometers north of Naples. This Caserta province town of about 24,800 residents holds an unusual national distinction. Since 2023, demographic data marks it as Italy's youngest municipality, with an average age of merely 36.9 years.
The local borders shifted dramatically in 1928, when the Fascist government merged Orta with neighboring Sant'Arpino and Succivo into a single entity, a decision reversed in 1946. Today, its proximity to main regional highways makes it a practical, no-nonsense base for drivers navigating between Naples and Caserta.
