Campobasso and Isernia

In the province of Campobasso, there are countless things to see. Bagnoli del Trigno, in the province of Isernia, is one of the most beautiful villages in Molise. Similarly, Sepino is also one of the most delightful towns in Italy. In addition to the village's charm, there are the remains of the Samnite and later Roman city of Altilia. Close to the village, there are cattle tracks that were already crossed by herds in Roman times, connecting the towns of Pescasseroli and Candela.

The surroundings of Isernia are teeming with curious places, villages to visit, and paths to discover on foot.

To reconnect with nature, we suggest visiting the natural oases and reserves of Molise. Explore the Oasis WWF di Gurdiaregia – Campochiaro, a protected natural area established in 1996 in the Molise region of Matese, known for its diverse flora and fauna. Alternatively, you can visit the captivating Montedimezzo Nature Reserve (MaB - Man and Biosphere - UNESCO World Heritage Reserve), a region of biodiversity in the province of Isernia recognized worldwide for its high naturalistic value. This reserve hosts numerous species of mammals, including wild boars, hares, badgers, roe deer, martens, weasels, foxes, and squirrels.

Castelpetroso can be compared to the Lourdes of Molise. The sanctuary, resembling a fairytale castle in the woods, was built on the site of the Madonna's apparition and is a pilgrimage destination for visitors from all over the world. The Via Matris, a 750-meter-long path, connects the sanctuary to the apparition site, divided into seven stations that correspond to the seven sorrows of the Virgin Mary.

Scapoli is renowned for its bagpipe manufacturing and the International Bagpipe Festival. In the shops of the historic center, you can witness the craft of making bagpipes.
