The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Reggio Calabria Airport (REG), about 51.3km away.
  • The population is growing — up 0.93% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 14.2km to the nearest beach.
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 44.
Working against it
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 2 places to eat within 5km.
