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.

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, 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.

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.

Miranda (IS)
Miranda è un comune italiano di 1.022 abitanti della provincia di Isernia in Molise. Un primo insediamento umano nell'area dell'attuale comune è da far risalire probabilmente all'XI secolo, come testimonia la facies normanna del castello che si erge sul promontorio prece, di cui tuttavia sopravvivono pochi elementi architettonici. Attorno ad esso si struttura il nucleo originario del paese, inframezzato da vari muraglioni che individuano i successivi strati abitativi costruiti a partire dalla fortezza primaria. Le scarne documentazioni relative al feudo di Miranda testimoniano un fitto passaggio di proprietà tra varie famiglie nobili, tra cui i partenopei Di Somma, il cui stemma familiare costituito da due torri erte su fondo marino è ancora oggi il simbolo ufficiale del comune.
