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

No standout strengths flagged by our current measures.

Depends on you
  • An older, settled community — median age about 55, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.9% 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.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 2 places to eat within 5km.
  • A seismically active area (up to M5.2) — 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.
