The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Parma Airport (PMF), about 12.1km away.
  • The population is growing — up 1.52% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 48.
Working against it
  • Some earthquake history here, the strongest around M4.9 over the last 20 years — worth asking about a building's construction and any anti-seismic work.

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