The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), about 35.3km away.
  • The population is growing — up 1.94% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 46.
Working against it
  • Everyday shopping means a trip — the nearest supermarket is about 7.1km.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 2 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.
