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
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), about 67.2km away.
  • An established international community — 26 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you

Nothing notable to weigh either way here.

Working against it
  • A markedly older population — 35.7% are over 65 — which can strain local services and schools over time.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 2 places to eat within 5km.

Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.
