The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 0.4km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Brindisi Airport (BDS), about 25.1km away.
  • An established international community — 167 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 47.
