The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria International Airport (PEG), about 66.2km away.
  • An established international community — 84 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 0.5km to the nearest beach.
  • An older, settled community — median age about 55, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 1.11% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.

Written from the data on this page — this town's own ISTAT and OpenStreetMap figures, not editorial impressions.

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