Roccaforzata, in the province of Taranto (Puglia), records no residents from any of the 25 nationalities we track, in the latest ISTAT data. It has a population of 1,760.

Separately, ISTAT's census data shows 1.9% of Roccaforzata's population was born outside Italy — 1.1% outside the EU and 0.8% elsewhere in the EU. ISTAT does not publish this broken down by specific country at comune level, so it isn't directly comparable to the per-nationality citizenship figures above.

Tax regimes

Roccaforzata qualifies for the 7% pensioner regime. Comfortably below the 30,000-resident ceiling.

Qualifying is about the town. Whether it applies to you depends on criteria no map can check — where you were tax-resident before, and where your income comes from.

This lists the regimes we’ve published. Others exist that we haven’t encoded yet — we add one only once it has been checked against the legislation — so this isn’t a complete account of what might apply to you.

Property prices

To buy

€850 /m²

To rent

€3.35 /m²/month

About the Taranto average of €862/m². Based on a single OMI micro-zone, so it describes the town as one market.

Buy or rent

21.1 years of rent here equal the purchase price, close to the national median of 22.2 years.

A ratio between two OMI prices, not a return on investment. It leaves out purchase taxes, IMU, maintenance, financing and the months a place sits empty — all of which push the real figure up. Useful for the question it does answer: whether this town looks expensive to buy relative to what renting in it costs.
