The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Hospital care is close by — about 1.5km away.
  • Plenty of daily life within reach — 166 places to eat within 5km.
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.9km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Parma Airport (PMF), about 30km away.
  • An established international community — 216 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 10.7km to the nearest beach.
  • A sizeable town — around 172,921 residents — with city-style amenities and pace.
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 46.
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.
