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 — Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), about 19.8km away.
  • An established international community — 32 residents from Western countries already here.
  • The population is growing — up 0.81% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 47.
Working against it
  • A seismically active area (up to M5.6) — a notable earthquake history over the last 20 years. Worth checking the construction date and quality of anything you buy.

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.
