1/10Who this town suits
Scores are 0–10, computed only from factors we have data for; coverage shows how complete that is. A low score means a poor fit for that group’s needs, not a bad town. Tap an audience to see what drove its score.
The honest read
- An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Marche Airport (AOI), about 75.1km away.
- The coast is close — about 10.5km to the nearest beach.
- A small village — around 764 residents — quiet by nature.
- The population is gradually declining — down 2.3% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
- A markedly older population — 35.1% are over 65 — which can strain local services and schools over time.
- 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 5 places to eat within 5km.
- Some earthquake history here, the strongest around M4.3 over the last 20 years — worth asking about a building's construction and any anti-seismic work.

People
Where the population is heading
Arrivals and departures over the year, from the ISTAT demographic balance. International migration counts moves across Italy’s border; internal migration counts moves to and from other Italian comuni.
Long-range projections are published by ISTAT only for comuni over ~5,000 residents.
Age structure
Natural hazards
Earthquakes from INGV (national seismic record); flood and landslide exposure from ISPRA IdroGEO (share of residents living in a mapped high-hazard zone). Wildfire history isn’t yet sourced. Always check the specific address of any property.
Property prices
Agenzia delle Entrate - OMI · 2025 H2 · broad indicative €/m² ranges by OMI zone, not a valuation or a listing price. Always check the specific address and current listings for any property.
Air travel
Nearest airport with scheduled passenger service (great-circle distance). Verified against OurAirports, Assaeroporti and Wikipedia — cargo-only and general-aviation fields are excluded. Check the airport site for current routes and timetables.
Leisure & facilities
Mapped from OpenStreetMap; absence here means “not mapped,” which isn’t always the same as “not there.”

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.
Foreign community
Foreign community — estimated religious background
Estimated from the foreignresidents’ country of citizenship, not a religion census — a guide to the likely background of the foreign community, not a measured figure.
Civic vitality
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
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.
