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
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR), about 53.2km away.
  • The population is growing — up 0.63% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • A small village — around 1,279 residents — quiet by nature.
  • An older, settled community — median age about 56, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.
  • Everyday shopping means a trip — the nearest supermarket is about 7.4km.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 2 places to eat within 5km.

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