The population has been constantly shrinking in recent years. A massive emigration occurred during and after the Second World War. Numerous inhabitants moved to countries such as Argentina, the United States, and Australia.
Agriculture used to employ the major part of the labour force. Cattle and farming were the main activities, although in the last years this has been changing, with the tertiary sector employing 41 percent of the working force.
Winters are cold, influenced by the Apennines, with occasional snowfalls taking place between the months of November and March.
Summers are extremely dry and hot. Almost no rainfall occurs between June and August.
