The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.1km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA), about 44.7km away.
Depends on you
  • A small village — around 172 residents — quiet by nature.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 3.37% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 2 places to eat within 5km.

Counts show what’s mapped in OpenStreetMap within each ring. Where little is close, the nearest few are listed with an estimated drive time (a guide, not a measured route; typically ~1.5× the straight-line distance at rural speeds). Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.

Civic vitality

Online servicesANPR registry, CIE login, online desk, online services, PagoPA payments
Visitor-friendlyEnglish-language pages

Read automatically from the comune’s own website — soft signals of how active the local administration is, not a verdict. Some towns use a shared regional portal, so a quiet site doesn’t always mean a quiet town. See the methodology.

Schools & education

Schools in the comuneNone — see nearest schools in Daily life & distances
UniversityNearest: Liceo delle scienze umane · 21.9 km

School counts from the MIUR Anagrafe scuole (presence by level, not a ranking). Universities and conservatories/academies from the MIUR institution lists; nearby university presence from OpenStreetMap. A student presence often means more rentals and services.
