As you navigate your way through the countryside there are many smaller towns and villages that you will come across in your journeys.  Each locale has its own special charm with the ability to make you feel as if you were inserted into a living postcard.

Campobasso
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

If you are looking for something quiet and quaint, a little rest and relaxation, yet still with the opportunity to take what is best about Italy, than a trip to Campobasso should be included in your itinerary.  It is located in the Molise region of the country, which sits in the south eastern area bordering the Adriatic to the east, the Abruzzo region to the north and the Apulia region to the south.  Campobasso is the capital of the Molise region and of the province of Campobasso.

 

Molise Region

The mountainous and sparsely populated region of Molise has only been recognized since 1963. Before this, Molise was an isolated province of Apulia. Today this otherwise forgotten region is bordered by Abruzzi on the north, Lazio to the west, Campania and Apulia to the south and east. To the northeast, Molise has a small coastline bordering the Adriatic. Thus far, it seems that both tourists as well as Italians have neglected Molise, but there are many sites nestled in the mountains that are worth visiting. Molise is home to beautiful abbeys, churches and castles as well as impressive ancient ruins far off the tourist track.
