1/10Who this town suits
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
- An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), about 10.6km away.
Nothing notable to weigh either way here.
- 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.
Written from the data on this page — this town's own ISTAT and OpenStreetMap figures, not editorial impressions.
People
Where the population is heading
Arrivals and departures over the year, from the ISTAT demographic balance. International migration counts moves across Italy’s border; internal migration counts moves to and from other Italian comuni.
Age structure
Natural hazards
Earthquakes from INGV (national seismic record); flood and landslide exposure from ISPRA IdroGEO (share of residents living in a mapped high-hazard zone). Wildfire history isn’t yet sourced. Always check the specific address of any property.
Property prices
Agenzia delle Entrate - OMI · 2025 H2 · broad indicative €/m² ranges by OMI zone, not a valuation or a listing price. Always check the specific address and current listings for any property.
Air travel
Nearest airport with scheduled passenger service (great-circle distance). Verified against OurAirports, Assaeroporti and Wikipedia — cargo-only and general-aviation fields are excluded. Check the airport site for current routes and timetables.

Counts show what’s mapped in OpenStreetMap within each ring. Where little is close, the nearest few are listed with an estimated drive time (a guide, not a measured route; typically ~1.5× the straight-line distance at rural speeds). Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.
Foreign community
Foreign community — estimated religious background
Estimated from the foreignresidents’ country of citizenship, not a religion census — a guide to the likely background of the foreign community, not a measured figure.
Schools & education
School counts from the MIUR Anagrafe scuole (presence by level, not a ranking). Universities and conservatories/academies from the MIUR institution lists; nearby university presence from OpenStreetMap. A student presence often means more rentals and services.
