Capracotta. Parish Church of S. Maria in Cielo Assunta
It is located on the highest part of the town, in the Terra Vecchia district, and was the seat of the collegiate church. It is not known what the current church was like, which is the result of a total renovation in 1725. The antiquity of the church is testified by a bas-relief of the bell tower, which bears the symbol of the Tree of Life, from the Renaissance period, the adjacent walls, with the portal of the chapel of the Visitation, show holes for the bells. The stone bell tower, with a square plan, has its current appearance, the result of the restoration of 1898. The baptismal font in walnut wood, with gold decorations, restored in 1980, and a stone font can also be attributed to the archaic church. In the 18th century the civic coat of arms was moved to the main altar by the Town Hall, and the church became the symbol of the entire Capracottese community.

Termoli, la Cattedrale di S. Maria della Purificazione
Di notevole interesse architettonico è la cattedrale in stile romanico pugliese dove sono conservati i corpi dei santi patroni della città, Basso e Timoteo. Costruita nel punto più alto del promontorio termolese, ha uno sviluppo longitudinale ed è divisa in tre navate. È difficile stabilire la data di costruzione della basilica; alcuni elementi, però, farebbero pensare alla presenza di una cattedrale già nel IX-X secolo. La facciata della chiesa può essere idealmente (e anche materialmente) divisa in due parti: quella inferiore e quella superiore in netto contrasto tra loro.

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.
