The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Pisa International Airport (PSA), about 43.3km away.
  • An established international community — 37 residents from Western countries already here.
  • The population is growing — up 0.54% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • A small village — around 1,689 residents — quiet by nature.
  • An older, settled community — median age about 53, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 5 places to eat within 5km.
