Civic vitality

Municipal siteUpdated in the last 12 days — actively maintained
Events & cultureActive local events/festivals mentioned

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.
