Located in the nearby region of Molise, Agnone once was in the heart of the Sanniti territory and several archaeological discoveries witness its glorious past. The town still offers glimpses of the medieval era and is known to the world as “Città D’Arte” (City of Art). It is also known as “Athens of the Sannio”.
Among the many beauties and cultural resources of the city, a special mention goes to the ancient Pontificia Fonderia Marinelli, famous in the whole world from 1000 years for its handcrafted bells. Inside the Fonderia Marinelli, it is possible to visit the historical museum of the bell (Museo Storico della Campana). For informations visit the Fonderia Marinelli official website.
Pietrabbondante

Pietrabbondante is another ancient village which dates back to the Sannio era. The small molisan center once had an important role for the ancient italian community. The Bovianum Vetus in Calcatello is proof of its ancient splendour with its two temples, and a theatre with anatomic-shaped stone seats. The theatre was used as a meeting point.
Inside the Bovianum Vetus, many theatrical shows take place during the summer.
The Beaches and the Trabocchi Coast
In about 40 minues, going through the state highway Trignina, it is possible to reach the beaches of Vasto and San Salvo, the two main coastal locations of the area which offer a wide range of choice to sea lovers.
It is possible to lie down on the large, golden beaches or to venture along the rocky cliffs on which rise the characteristic Trabocchi, ancient stilt constructed fishing platforms: nowadays, some of the Trabocchi host typical seafood restaurants.
