Castel San Vincenzo. The lake. Winter 2022
Castel San Vincenzo, Isernia, Molise, Italy. The lake. It is an artificial reservoir built at the end of the fifties for hydroelectric purposes. It occupies an area of 6.140 km². The lake of Castel San Vincenzo is an artificial reservoir built in the late 1950s for hydroelectric purposes. The lake occupies an area of 0.614 km² and has a useful capacity of 10 million cubic meters. The waters that feed the lake come mainly from the streams of the Montagna Spaccata in the nearby municipalities of Alfedena and Barrea. The waters of these streams feed the Enel power stations in Pizzone, Rocchetta a Volturno and Colli a Volturno. Although artificial, the lake is well harmonized with the surrounding landscape of mountains and woods. The aquatic fauna consists mainly of salmonids. Near the lake, where it is possible to engage in fishing and other water sports, there is an area equipped for camping and a riding stable.

Molise - Fornelli (IS)
Fornelli (Furnièllè in molisano) è un comune italiano di 1.905 abitanti della provincia di Isernia nel Molise. Fa parte del circuito dei Borghi più belli d'Italia. È città dell'olio. Giace in parte su una collina lambita dal torrente Vandra, che confluisce nel Volturno, e in parte sul monte Cervaro, ove supera i 1000 metri. Il nome gli deriva forse da un forno per la produzione di laterizi cotti presente nell'antichità nel paese e al servizio della Badia di San Vincenzo. Fornelli, infatti, è caratterizzato da un terreno ricco di argilla.

Castelpetroso. Sanctuary of the Madonna Addolorata.
The basilica sanctuary of Maria Santissima Addolorata, or simply the Addolorata basilica is an important Catholic place of worship located in the municipality of Castelpetroso, in the province of Isernia, and belonging to the archdiocese of Campobasso-Boiano. According to the testimony of the visionaries, the Virgin Mary appeared for the first time on March 22, 1888 to two shepherdesses named Serafina and Bibiana in the locality of Cesa tra Santi, on the slopes of Mount Patalecchia. This first apparition was followed by others and, following the recognition of this phenomenon, Pope Paul VI proclaimed Maria Santissima Addolorata of Castelpetroso patroness of Molise on 6 December 1973. In the 1890s, it was decided to build a sanctuary near the place of the apparitions, but further downstream from this, so that it would be more easily accessible by pilgrims. The project was entrusted to Giuseppe Gualandi, whose death (1944) was succeeded by his son Francesco. On 28 September 1890 the first stone was laid and construction of the sanctuary began. It proceeded slowly due to economic problems and the two world wars: in 1907 the chapel of the Poles was finished and opened for worship, but the perimeter walls of the church were completed only in 1950 [2], thanks to donations from don Nicolino Passarelli, canon theologian of the cathedral of Venafro, lawyer of the Sacra Rota and professor. In the following decades the sanctuary was completed and consecrated on 21 September 1975 by the bishop of Boiano-Campobasso Alberto Carinci.

Isernia - Fontana Fraterna
La "fontana Fraterna" (o fontana della Fraterna, fontana della Concezione, fontana delle Sette Cannelle o semplicemente Fraterna) è un'elegante fonte pubblica, nonché simbolo, della città di Isernia. Annoverata dall'Enciclopedia Treccani fra le più belle d'Italia, con sei getti d'acqua, dalle inusuali forme di un loggiato, realizzata con blocchi di pietra calcarea compatta, è una delle opere più significative e più importanti del comune pentro. Anticamente sorgeva in piazza Fraterna, di fronte alla chiesa della Concezione, ma dopo il bombardamento alleato del 1943 è situata in piazza Celestino V (ex largo Concezione), nel cuore del centro storico della città.
