The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 2.6km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Parma Airport (PMF), about 17.8km away.
  • The population is growing — up 0.77% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 10.6km to the nearest beach.
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.
