The honest read

Working in its favour

No standout strengths flagged by our current measures.

Depends on you
  • A small village — around 1,287 residents — quiet by nature.
  • An older, settled community — median age about 54, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 1.68% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • 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 0 places to eat within 5km.
