The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), about 42.1km away.
Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 48.
Working against it
  • 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 4 places to eat within 5km.

Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.
