Miranda 2024
Miranda is an Italian municipality of 952 inhabitants in the province of Isernia in Molise. A first settlement of the current municipality probably dates back to the 11th century, as evidenced by the Norman facies of the castle that stands on the previous promontory, of which however few survive architectural elements. The original nucleus of the town is structured around it, interspersed with various walls that identify the subsequent residential layers built starting from the primary fortress. The scant documentation relating to the Miranda fiefdom testifies to a frequent transfer of ownership between various noble families, including the Di Somma Neapolitans, whose family coat of arms consisting of two towers standing on the seabed is still the official symbol of the municipality today.

Molise - Pietrabbondante (IS) Il Teatro Italico
Il teatro e tempio italico di Pietrabbondante fanno parte di una vasta area archeologica ricadente nel territorio comunale di Pietrabbondante, in provincia di Isernia, nella regione Molise. Ubicati a circa m. 966 di altitudine s.l.m. essi occupano un ripido declivio che si affaccia sulla valle del Trigno, in località Calcatello, a circa un chilometro di distanza, in linea d'aria, dalla vetta del monte Saraceno. La zona non è attraversata da alcun tracciato stradale di grande comunicazione; sono individuabili tracce di un antico sentiero esistente tra il moderno abitato di Pietrabbondante ed il vicino monte Saraceno, già praticato in antico, una direttrice stradale che ancora oggi segue l’andamento del ripido pendio e, costeggiando il lato orientale del monte, rappresenta l’unica via di accesso all'area fortificata posta in vetta. L’area sacra rappresenta, per le sue caratteristiche architettoniche e per la sua monumentalità, la testimonianza archeologica di maggior rilievo della cultura della popolazione italica dei Samnites Pentri, e la sua esplorazione sistematica ha consentito di ricostruire le vicende storiche del territorio attraverso i secoli ed ha fornito una quantità rilevante di dati sul più importante luogo di culto dello stato sannitico.
