The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 4.3km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Milan Malpensa International Airport (MXP), about 43.7km away.
  • An established international community — 30 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 4.1km to the nearest beach.
  • A small village — around 885 residents — quiet by nature.
  • An older, settled community — median age about 55, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.78% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
