The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 5km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Abruzzo Airport (PSR), about 29.6km away.
Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 48.

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