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 reach — Abruzzo Airport (PSR), about 76.2km away.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 3.3km to the nearest beach.
  • A small village — around 1,862 residents — quiet by nature.
  • An older, settled community — median age about 53, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.9% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 5 places to eat within 5km.
  • A seismically active area (up to M4.5) — a notable earthquake history over the last 20 years. Worth checking the construction date and quality of anything you buy.

Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.
