The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 1km away.
Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 48.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.64% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.
