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 5km away.
Well connected by rail — a station about 0.5km away.
An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), about 30.2km away.

Depends on you

Nothing notable to weigh either way here.

Working against it

A quiet spot for eating out — only 0 places to eat within 5km.
A seismically active area (up to M5.8) — a notable earthquake history over the last 20 years. Worth checking the construction date and quality of anything you buy.
