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

Working in its favour
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.5km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), about 14km away.
  • An established international community — 36 residents from Western countries already here.
  • The population is growing — up 0.51% in the latest year.
Depends on you

Nothing notable to weigh either way here.

Working against it
  • A seismically active area (up to M5.8) — a notable earthquake history over the last 20 years. Worth checking the construction date and quality of anything you buy.
