The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Bolzano Airport (BZO), about 84.5km away.
  • An established international community — 21 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • A small village — around 1,799 residents — quiet by nature.
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 47.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 1.05% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.

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