The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Foggia Gino Lisa Airport (FOG), about 83.7km away.
Depends on you
  • A small village — around 839 residents — quiet by nature.
  • An older, settled community — median age about 54, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 1.64% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.
  • Everyday shopping means a trip — the nearest supermarket is about 9.6km.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 2 places to eat within 5km.
  • A seismically active area (up to M5) — a notable earthquake history over the last 20 years. Worth checking the construction date and quality of anything you buy.

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