About location

Bojano sits at the foot of the Matese Mountains in Molise, Italy, where the Biferno River emerges from the upland foothills. The town occupies an inland basin beneath Monte Miletto, the highest summit of the Matese massif. Its origins reach back to Bovianum, an important Samnite town of the Pentri people before Roman rule, and that ancient name remains part of Bojano’s identity. Medieval rebuilding and later growth have left a compact townscape of tiled roofs and churches, enclosed by wooded slopes and cultivated land. Bojano stands within the wider Matese landscape, whose limestone ridges and forested valleys mark the transition between the central Apennines and the lower country of Molise.

Known in antiquity as Bovianum, it was an important Samnite centre of the Pentri before becoming part of the Roman world. The historic core includes the Cathedral of San Bartolomeo, while streets rise towards the mountain side above town. The Biferno’s springs and the nearby Matese range firmly place Bojano in Molise’s inland landscape, shaped by ancient settlement and upland farming.

Molise
Region Molise

Molise balances an Apennine character with an Adriatic outlook in a way that reflects its position between central Italy’s mountains and the sea. One of the country’s smallest regions, it moves from wooded uplands and farming valleys to a short stretch of coast around Termoli. The Biferno crosses its interior before reaching the Adriatic, linking the regional capital Campobasso with the lowlands. Molise also retains a strong connection to ancient Samnium, while Termoli’s walled old town and Swabian Castle recall the coast’s strategic past. Local food traditions centre on products such as caciocavallo cheese and olive oil. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Molise.

Country Italy

Among the countries of southern Europe, Italy stands out for its Mediterranean coastline and cities marked by the legacy of ancient Rome. The Alps form its northern frontier, while the Apennines run down the peninsula and the Po crosses the broad plain of the north. Rome’s Colosseum and Roman Forum recall the ancient empire; Florence is closely associated with the Renaissance, and Venice is built across a lagoon on the Adriatic. Food changes markedly between regions, from olive-oil cooking in the south to rice dishes in the Po Valley. Sicily and Sardinia add distinct island identities to a country whose regions retain strong local character.
