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 — Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport (QSR), about 26.1km away.
  • An established international community — 48 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 46.
Working against it
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 4 places to eat within 5km.
  • Some earthquake history here, the strongest around M4.5 over the last 20 years — worth asking about a building's construction and any anti-seismic work.

Written from the data on this page — this town's own ISTAT and OpenStreetMap figures, not editorial impressions.

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.
