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.

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.
