The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria International Airport (PEG), about 70.2km away.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 9.7km to the nearest beach.
  • An older, settled community — median age about 54, higher than most Italian comuni.

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

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
