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
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.7km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), about 15.4km away.
  • An established international community — 27 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 8.1km to the nearest beach.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.52% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
