Isernia. The Sanctuary of SS Cosma e Damiano
The Sanctuary of Santi Cosma e Damiano is located at an altitude of 400 meters. Inside, silver busts of the seventeenth century are venerated with the relics of the two saints inside, always inside two small plaster statues depicting the two saints to whom the sanctuary is dedicated. According to tradition, the sanctuary has existed since 1130, the first official document concerning it, however, dates back to 1523. In fact, in 1130 it seems that a chapel was built in this place, but this statement cannot be supported by any documentation that proves its actual presence. on that date. The current sanctuary as we can see it today dates back to the construction of 1523. Inside, the church has a single nave with a coffered ceiling. The presbytery ends with an apse. A beautiful cycle of frescoes depicting the life of Saints Cosma and Damiano of the Neapolitan school adorns the church. The ceiling was instead made by various artisans of Agnone. Inside the sanctuary we also find a collection of ex-votos that include painted tablets, sheets with inscriptions, photographs, anthropomorphic figurines and other objects.

Rocchetta a Volturno. Winter 2022
Rocchetta a Volturno is an Italian town of 1 098 inhabitants in the province of Isernia in Molise. The Municipality of Rocchetta al Volturno is made up of two nuclei: the original village, called Rocchetta Alta, or Rocchetta Vecchia, still perched in a defensive position on the mountain, and Rocchetta Nuova, which is located at a lower altitude. The new Rocchetta was born because, at the end of the 19th century, the slope that connected the southern part of the ancient town with the opposite hill was deforested and the land began to show serious subsidence from 1890 due to the progressive sliding of the superimposed layers of clay and sandstone, increased by water infiltrations, both rain and spring. In 1905, following further disastrous events, the population moved for the most part downstream, where there was a hamlet called Case Sparse. The modern town is developed today in the center of a plateau, bordered to the west by the terminal part of the Mainarde chain and to the east by a depression, at the bottom of which the Volturno flows; about two kilometers away are the sources of the river. Its name characterizes the toponyms of other nearby municipalities such as Colli a Volturno and Cerro al Volturno.

Civitacampomarano (CB), il Castello Angioino
Il castello è il principale monumento della città. Si erge nella parte centrale del paese su un crinale di arenaria, fra i torrenti Mordale, che attraversa la Cavatella, e il Vallone Grande, uno degli affluenti del fiume Biferno. Si sostituì ad una più antica torre di avvistamento, databile probabilmente intorno alla seconda metà del XII secolo e di cui si può ancora vedere il perimetro, messo in evidenza durante gli imponenti lavori di restauro della fine del secolo scorso. L'impianto così come lo vediamo oggi, invece, secondo gli studiosi dovrebbe risalire al XIII secolo, presentando l'edificio degli elementi architettonici tipici dell'epoca, sotto la dominazione angioina. Originariamente di fronte ad esso era posta la chiesa madre, crollata nel 1903 a seguito di uno sfaldamento del costone sul quale si ergeva. Di essa ora resta visibile solo il basamento, mentre il campanile è intatto e funzionante ed è provvisto anche di un orologio i cui rintocchi risuonano ogni quarto d'ora.
