1/10Who this town suits
Scores are 0–10, computed only from factors we have data for; coverage shows how complete that is. A low score means a poor fit for that group’s needs, not a bad town. Tap an audience to see what drove its score.
The honest read
- An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Milan Malpensa International Airport (MXP), about 47.4km away.
- A small village — around 240 residents — quiet by nature.
- The population is gradually declining — down 2.44% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
- A markedly older population — 36.2% are over 65 — which can strain local services and schools over time.
- Everyday shopping means a trip — the nearest supermarket is about 5.7km.
Written from the data on this page — this town's own ISTAT and OpenStreetMap figures, not editorial impressions.
People
Where the population is heading
Arrivals and departures over the year, from the ISTAT demographic balance. International migration counts moves across Italy’s border; internal migration counts moves to and from other Italian comuni.

Age structure
Property prices
Agenzia delle Entrate - OMI · 2025 H2 · broad indicative €/m² ranges by OMI zone, not a valuation or a listing price. Always check the specific address and current listings for any property.

Counts show what’s mapped in OpenStreetMap within each ring. Where little is close, the nearest few are listed with an estimated drive time (a guide, not a measured route; typically ~1.5× the straight-line distance at rural speeds). Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.
Foreign community
Foreign community — estimated religious background
Estimated from the foreignresidents’ country of citizenship, not a religion census — a guide to the likely background of the foreign community, not a measured figure.
Civic vitality
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
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.
