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
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 1km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Ciampino–G. B. Pastine International Airport (CIA), about 69.4km away.
Depends on you
  • An older, settled community — median age about 53, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 1.14% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 2 places to eat within 5km.

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