The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Abruzzo Airport (PSR), about 16.6km away.
Depends on you
  • A small village — around 1,278 residents — quiet by nature.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.62% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.

Written from the data on this page — this town's own ISTAT and OpenStreetMap figures, not editorial impressions.

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