The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 3.8km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Marche Airport (AOI), about 28km away.
  • The population is growing — up 0.64% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • A small village — around 1,267 residents — quiet by nature.

Counts show what’s mapped in OpenStreetMap within each ring. Where little is close, the nearest few are listed with an estimated drive time (a guide, not a measured route; typically ~1.5× the straight-line distance at rural speeds). Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.

Read automatically from the comune’s own website — soft signals of how active the local administration is, not a verdict. Some towns use a shared regional portal, so a quiet site doesn’t always mean a quiet town. See the methodology.

Schools & education

School counts from the MIUR Anagrafe scuole (presence by level, not a ranking). Universities and conservatories/academies from the MIUR institution lists; nearby university presence from OpenStreetMap. A student presence often means more rentals and services.
