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 reach — Abruzzo Airport (PSR), about 68.4km away.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 2.2km to the nearest beach.
  • A small village — around 428 residents — quiet by nature.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 4.46% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A markedly older population — 39.7% are over 65 — which can strain local services and schools over time.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 5 places to eat within 5km.
  • A seismically active area (up to M6.1) — a notable earthquake history over the last 20 years. Worth checking the construction date and quality of anything you buy.

Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.

Civic vitality

Municipal siteNo recent updates found (over a year)
Online servicesANPR registry, CIE login, PagoPA payments

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

Schools in the comuneNone — see nearest schools in Daily life & distances
UniversityNearest: Ente Scuola Edile · 16.9 km

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.
