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

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 1.7km away.
  • Plenty of daily life within reach — 65 places to eat within 5km.
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.5km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Naples International Airport (NAP), about 10.6km away.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 1.7km to the nearest beach.
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 45.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.66% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A seismically active area (up to M4.6) — a notable earthquake history over the last 20 years. Worth checking the construction date and quality of anything you buy.

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