Scores are 0–10, computed only from factors we have data for; coverage shows how complete that is. A low score means a poor fit for that group’s needs, not a bad town. Tap an audience to see what drove its score.

The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), about 28km away.
  • The population is growing — up 1.45% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 48.
Working against it
  • No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 3 places to eat within 5km.
  • Some earthquake history here, the strongest around M4.9 over the last 20 years — worth asking about a building's construction and any anti-seismic work.

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.
