The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 0.5km away.
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 1.2km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Parma Airport (PMF), about 56.5km away.
  • An established international community — 28 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 10.6km to the nearest beach.
Working against it
  • 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.
