The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), about 18.8km away.
Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 47.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.93% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • 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.
