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 0.5km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), about 12.4km away.
  • An established international community — 31 residents from Western countries already here.
  • The population is growing — up 0.9% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 48.
Working against it
  • Everyday shopping means a trip — the nearest supermarket is about 5.3km.

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