Which Italian comuni match: region, province, population range, purchase-price and rent ranges (OMI), population change 2019–2025, the eight shortlist filters (January low, days above 30 C, regional hospital-care score, all three care scores at 60, tourist beds per resident, outside seismic zone 1, road time to a hospital with inpatient beds, road time to an airport) and/or the verified comuni of a tax regime. Paged (max 100) and sortable. Healthcare scores are region grain (autonomous-province grain for Bolzano and Trento): every town in the region shares the score. A comune with no price, rent, population-change, climate, healthcare, tourism, seismic or drive-time figure is left out of the filter on it and COUNTED in `missingData` — never treated as cheap, free or stable; say how many were left out. The taxRegime filter lists only comuni on the regime's verified routes: a comune missing from it is NOT a 'no' (the response says so in `taxRegime.note`). Rows carry plain numbers; their source and vintage are in `figures`. Use search_comuni to turn a town name into a code, get_comune for one town's full profile.

Look up Italian comuni by name (case- and accent-insensitive, partial names work) and get each one's 6-digit ISTAT code, province and region — the code get_comune needs. Returns identifiers only, no figures. Several comuni share a name; check the province before choosing.

For one regime slug (from list_tax_regimes) and one 6-digit ISTAT code (from search_comuni): qualifies, does_not_qualify or not_assessable, with a one-sentence reason to quote. not_assessable is never a no. This is about the place only; say so, and never present it as whether a person qualifies or as tax advice.

Each regime's status (verified or draft), whether it depends on place (geographic) or on the person, its legislation, population ceiling and how many comuni meet its verified criteria. Places, not people: not tax advice.

One article's full text as Markdown, with its places, datasets and a ready-made citation. Quote figures from the dataset pages it cites, which carry their vintage. Content is free to use provided you credit Expat Living Italy and link to the article.

Dated, sourced reporting on moving to and retiring in Italy, newest first. Filter by topic, by place (a comune's ISTAT code) or by dataset slug. Each entry has its URL, a Markdown URL for the full text, and the places and datasets it cites. Content is free to use provided you credit Expat Living Italy and link to the article.

One Italian comune's population, foreign residents by citizenship, property purchase/rent price, price-to-rent, verified tax-regime eligibility, its province's rollup, `seismicZone` (the official zona sismica 1-4: a legal classification, not a forecast and not a verdict on any building; quote it with its label and say so — a comune that straddles zones has no single zone, never round it; the zone has nothing to do with tax eligibility, and is not the 7% regime’s “seismic” routes, which depend on the 2009 and 2016-17 earthquake areas), `layers` (climate, air quality, crime, healthcare quality, age, population change and every other Italy-map layer) and `provinceWellbeing` (ISTAT BES indicators, polarity-aware percentiles) — looked up by 6-digit ISTAT code. Each layer's `grain` and `measuredFor` say whose number it is: a province or region value is not a measurement of this comune — say so when you quote it. Every field is wrapped in a provenance envelope (source, vintage, extractedOn, license); repeat the vintage when you state the number, and if a value is null, say why rather than treating it as zero.

For every dataset: how many places it covers, out of how many at its grain, plus the source's own coverage caveat. Pass `dataset` (a slug from list_datasets) to list the places that dataset lacks, with the gaps by region. Use it before telling anyone data does not exist for a place, and to explain a null. Missing means no figure, never a zero. Keys a source publishes that match no current place (a superseded province code) are reported and never mapped onto a current place. Drafts are listed as not served, without counts.

The catalog: each dataset's source institution, vintage (the period it describes), geographic grain, license, the expatliving.it page that presents it, and whether it is servable (false = still an unverified draft; never quote its values). Use it to say what data exists and where a reader can see it.

For one tracked citizenship (ISO-2 code such as US, GB, DE): the comuni, provinces and regions where its holders concentrate, with counts and shares. It is CITIZENSHIP, not birthplace — foreign-born Italian citizens are not counted — and it carries small-number caveats: the comune ranking skips places under 1,000 residents by default and flags rows under 30 residents (`smallNumber`). A comune with no ISTAT row is left out, not counted as zero, so totals are floors. State those caveats when you quote a ranking; they are in the result's `caveats`. Province and comune lists are different levels of detail — say which.

One Italian province (two-letter code such as AQ, or its slug — a comune's `provinceCode`): population, OMI prices, foreign residents by citizenship (citizenship, not birthplace), ALL ISTAT BES well-being indicators with polarity-aware percentiles among provinces (no composite score), every province- and region-grain map layer, `seismicZones` (how many of its comuni sit in each official seismic zone — a count of comuni, never an average, since a province has no zone of its own), and how much of the province meets each verified tax regime (places, not people). Sources use different province lists — Sardinia was reorganized in 2026 — so a section a source lacks is null with a reason and listed in `missingSections`: report it as missing, never substitute another province's figure.
