The honest read

Working in its favour

No standout strengths flagged by our current measures.

Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 47.
Working against it
  • 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 6 places to eat within 5km.
  • A seismically active area (up to M5.2) — a notable earthquake history over the last 20 years. Worth checking the construction date and quality of anything you buy.
