The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Parma Airport (PMF), about 63.4km away.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 7.4km to the nearest beach.
  • An older, settled community — median age about 54, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 1.07% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • Everyday shopping means a trip — the nearest supermarket is about 6.4km.
  • 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.
