Molise - Pietrabbondante (IS) Il Teatro Italico
Il teatro e tempio italico di Pietrabbondante fanno parte di una vasta area archeologica ricadente nel territorio comunale di Pietrabbondante, in provincia di Isernia, nella regione Molise. Ubicati a circa m. 966 di altitudine s.l.m. essi occupano un ripido declivio che si affaccia sulla valle del Trigno, in località Calcatello, a circa un chilometro di distanza, in linea d'aria, dalla vetta del monte Saraceno. La zona non è attraversata da alcun tracciato stradale di grande comunicazione; sono individuabili tracce di un antico sentiero esistente tra il moderno abitato di Pietrabbondante ed il vicino monte Saraceno, già praticato in antico, una direttrice stradale che ancora oggi segue l’andamento del ripido pendio e, costeggiando il lato orientale del monte, rappresenta l’unica via di accesso all'area fortificata posta in vetta. L’area sacra rappresenta, per le sue caratteristiche architettoniche e per la sua monumentalità, la testimonianza archeologica di maggior rilievo della cultura della popolazione italica dei Samnites Pentri, e la sua esplorazione sistematica ha consentito di ricostruire le vicende storiche del territorio attraverso i secoli ed ha fornito una quantità rilevante di dati sul più importante luogo di culto dello stato sannitico.

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.

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.
