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
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Forlì-Luigi Ridolfi International Airport (FRL), about 31.2km away.
Depends on you
  • An older, settled community — median age about 53, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.69% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 3 places to eat within 5km.

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.
