Miranda 2024

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.

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.

Carpinone. The waterfalls. Spring 2024

In the heart of a very small village in Molise, immersed in an enchanted forest and floral nature, stands the Carpinone waterfall, one of the most fascinating natural spectacles of the place. The rush of foaming water, which rushes downwards, pervades you as soon as you take the path and when you finally reach it you have a fantastic visual effect of light and roar. The Carpinone waterfall is becoming one of the major natural attractions of Molise, thanks also to a group of volunteers who, for some years, have been taking care of its appearance to make it accessible to everyone and not just to the few enthusiasts or those who despise the danger... She's too beautiful to leave there alone! It was born as a gift from nature and can be reached by following various paths, all immersed in the bright greenery of Molise and all marked with hand-made wooden signs, so as not to affect the suggestive panorama. As you walk, you feel a very pleasant emotion thanks to the direct contact with nature, the breathing of healthy, clean air and the sight of wonderful floral species that make everything fairytale-like.
