Mestiere
Craftsmanship of the mountain villages of Molise
Agnone (IS)
In the mountain villages of Molise, historically isolated and self-sufficient, a craft tradition has been preserved around the making of work tools, kitchen implements and everyday objects.
Borgo
Borgo di Scapoli
Scapoli (IS)
A small village of monastic origin tied to the Abbazia di San Vincenzo al Volturno, within the Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise, recognised with the Bandiera Arancione of the Touring Club Italiano. The surrounding natural landscape is integral to the identity of the place.
Prodotto tipico
Caciocavallo molisano
Bojano (CB)
Caciocavallo is the most representative pasta filata cheese of Molise, made according to techniques handed down from the transhumant pastoral tradition. In its local variants — from the small fresh form to the aged one — it tells centuries of Apennine dairy culture.
Panorama
Cascate del Carpino di Carpinone
Carpinone (IS)
The Carpino waterfalls, set within dense, unspoilt vegetation near Carpinone, can be reached via paths that run alongside gorges, streams and small pools.
Forests of Capracotta and the Bosco degli Abeti
Capracotta (IS)
The forests around Capracotta, in the Molise Apennines, include one of the most significant fir forests in central-southern Italy, in a high-altitude landscape that changes character completely between summer and winter.
Tradizione
La 'Ndocciata di Agnone
A night procession with torches of interwoven branches ('ndocce) held on the eve of the Immaculate Conception, one of Molise's most spectacular pagan-Christian traditions. A collective rite that has involved the entire community of Agnone for centuries.
