Provincia di Isernia Essentials

The Province of Isernia preserves Italy’s ancient heritage through the Samnite ruins of Pietrabbondante and the world’s oldest bell-making tradition at Agnone’s Pontificia Fonderia Marinelli. This rugged landscape features the Neo-Gothic Santuario dell'Addolorata and the 8th-century Benedictine monastery of San Vincenzo al Volturno. From the Romanesque Fontana Fraterna in Isernia to the high-altitude botanical gardens of Capracotta and the horse frescoes of Castello Pandone, the region offers a concentrated look at Apennine history and architecture.
