Agnone and Pietrabbondante: between history, traditions and good food

Agnone, in Molise, in the province of Isernia, is a village of art, history and culture and, thanks to its historic center full of churches, artistic portals, elegant buildings, suggestive alleys and picturesque views, it is an authentic open-air museum. This important center has also always stood out for its craftsmanship and metalworking. Here there is the oldest bell foundry in the world: the Pontifical Marinelli Foundry. In this ancient foundry, where the touch of art distinguishes each bell without giving in to the modern homologating technique, bells are made for the most prestigious churches in the world. Agnone is also the homeland of cheese and dairy products and you could not miss a visit to a well-known dairy, a unique experience for true connoisseurs: you will visit the historic cellar of the company and the tuff caves for refining the typical cheeses of Molise, such as the famous Agnone caciocavallo. After having refreshed yourself, do not miss the visit of Pietrabbondante, with its ancient Samnite excavations of the second century BC: a theater with stone seats, a temple and two service buildings placed alongside the latter.
