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
  • Plenty of daily life within reach — 57 places to eat within 5km.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Naples International Airport (NAP), about 40km away.
  • An established international community — 109 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 8.3km to the nearest beach.
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 46.
Working against it
  • No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.
  • 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.
