Molise - Castel S. Vincenzo (IS) - Il Lago
Il lago di Castel San Vincenzo è un invaso artificiale realizzato sul finire degli anni Cinquanta per scopi idroelettrici. Il lago occupa una superficie di 6,140 km² ed ha una capacità utile di 10 milioni di metri cubi. Le acque che alimentano il lago provengono principalmente dai torrenti della Montagna Spaccata nei vicini comuni di Alfedena e Barrea. Le acque di questi torrenti alimentano le centrali Enel di Pizzone, di Rocchetta a Volturno e di Colli a Volturno. Seppure artificiale, il lago è ben armonizzato con il paesaggio circostante di montagne e boschi. La fauna acquatica è costituita in prevalenza da salmonidi. In prossimità del lago, dove è possibile dedicarsi alla pesca e ad altri sport d'acqua, sono presenti un'area attrezzata per il camping e un maneggio.

Carpinone
The municipality owes its name to the small Carpino river that flows in its territory from north to west. In turn, the Carpino river received its name from the abundance of the "carpioni", the trout males, whose fishing in its waters is numerous. The origins of Carpinone, although not very ancient, date back to at least the tenth century since in 1064 the count of Isernia Bernardo had founded the Monastery of San Marco here, then donated to the abbey of Cassino. Belonged to the County of Isernia during the Lombard domination, in the Norman and Swabian era it belonged to the County of Molise. At the beginning of the Angevin period it became a fiefdom of Tommaso d'Evoli and returned to his family in 1382 after it had belonged first to the Tucciaco family and then to the Count of Gravina.

Cerro al Volturno. Winter 2022
Cerro al Volturno (Cièrrë in Molise) is an Italian town of 1 194 inhabitants in the province of Isernia in Molise, about 20 km from the border with Abruzzo. The municipality is also simply called Cerro because of its territory rich in oak woods, among which the Cerro, Quercus cerris, stands out. The Cerrese territory is on the border with the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise. The climate is mainly of the Apennine type: cool and rainy autumn, cold and snowy winter and mild summer. The town was founded by the Samnites (III century BC), of which fortifications remain at Mount Santa Croce. In medieval times the hill of the present village was colonized by peasants (9th century), since the fiefdom depended on the nearby Abbey of San Vincenzo al Volturno. The origin of the community itself is linked to the influence of the abbey of San Vincenzo al Volturno, one of the oldest Benedictine monasteries in the Kingdom of Naples and in the land of San Pietro, together with Montecassino and Farfa. Cerro already existed since 899, as evidenced in the Chrnicon Vulturnense, when Roffredo, abbot of San Vincenzo led the first peasant colony to cultivate the lands in the place of Cerrum, from the name of the oak trees. The 11th century Norman castle was later owned by the Filangieri, Borrello and Cantelmo di Popoli family, until the 15th century, when it passed to the Pandone family, who renovated it extensively. In the following centuries the feud belonged to various families, including the Carafa. In 1811 the village passed to the territory of Benevento, and only in 1861 was it included again in Molise, first linked to the territory of Piedimonte Matese, and then to the area of Castellone Volturno, i.e. Castel San Vincenzo. Since 1970 it has been part of the province of Isernia.
