The honest read

Working in its favour

No standout strengths flagged by our current measures.

Depends on you
  • A small village — around 347 residents — quiet by nature.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 1.42% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A markedly older population — 39.2% are over 65 — which can strain local services and schools over time.
  • No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 1 places to eat within 5km.

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

Read automatically from the comune’s own website — soft signals of how active the local administration is, not a verdict. Some towns use a shared regional portal, so a quiet site doesn’t always mean a quiet town. See the methodology.

Schools & education

Schools in the comuneNone — see nearest schools in Daily life & distances
UniversityNearest: UNIPEGASO · 38.3 km

School counts from the MIUR Anagrafe scuole (presence by level, not a ranking). Universities and conservatories/academies from the MIUR institution lists; nearby university presence from OpenStreetMap. A student presence often means more rentals and services.
