The honest read

Working in its favour
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE), about 65km away.
Depends on you
  • An older, settled community — median age about 54, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.74% 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.
