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
  • Hospital care is close by — about 4.4km away.
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 2.3km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), about 32.7km away.
  • An established international community — 28 residents from Western countries already here.
  • The population is growing — up 0.87% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • An older, settled community — median age about 53, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • Some earthquake history here, the strongest around M4.5 over the last 20 years — worth asking about a building's construction and any anti-seismic work.
