Rionero Sannitico

Rionero Sannitico occupies an elevated position in the Apennines of Molise. Near the region’s western edge, in the Province of Isernia, it belongs to the inland Italy of upland roads and wooded slopes rather than to Molise’s Adriatic strip. Its second name recalls Samnium, the homeland of the Samnites, an ancient Italic people whose wars with Rome are a defining chapter of pre-Roman history. The town introduces the quieter, mountain-facing character of Molise, where small communities remain closely tied to the rhythms of the interior.
