It offers a surprising amount of attractions when you consider its size. These range from the Termoli beaches to the ski resort of Campitello Matese, from the Guardiaregia natural oasis to the medieval fortifications and towns from the archaeological findings of the Samnites (an ancient population that lived in this area) and Romans to baroque sacred art.

All in all it is a combination of nature, beauty and tradition that has been preserved in the appeal of a land yet to be discovered and known. Despite the development of industrial activity, Molise remains a largely agricultural economy. It is due to this strong rural tradition that craftwork is still an important business in the region. The area only became a region in 1963, after having been part of the Abruzzo region and previously part of Terra di Lavoro (province of Caserta) and Capitanata (currently Puglia). Five rivers flow through the region (Biferno, Trigno, Fortore, Volturno and Sangro), whilst three artificial reservoirs used for electrical energy production have created three lakes: Castel San Vincenzo, Guardalfiera and Occhito. Finally, we cannot forget one of the region’s most well known products, caciocavallo cheese. This cheese already existed in the Magna Grecia period, and is traditionally produced in southern areas with native cow breeds.
