The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Parma Airport (PMF), about 53km away.
Depends on you
  • An older, settled community — median age about 55, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 3 places to eat within 5km.
  • Some earthquake history here, the strongest around M4.9 over the last 20 years — worth asking about a building's construction and any anti-seismic work.

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