The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Foggia Gino Lisa Airport (FOG), about 62.3km away.
Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 48.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.94% 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.
  • Everyday shopping means a trip — the nearest supermarket is about 5.8km.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 1 places to eat within 5km.
