The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Parma Airport (PMF), about 34.5km away.
  • The population is growing — up 1.49% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 12.5km to the nearest beach.
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 47.
Working against it
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 3 places to eat within 5km.

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