The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 0.8km away.
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 1.1km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Foggia Gino Lisa Airport (FOG), about 18.4km away.
Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 48.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.84% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 0 places to eat within 5km.
