The municipality owes its name to the small Carpino river that flows in its territory from north to west. In turn, the Carpino river received its name from the abundance of the "carpioni", the trout males, whose fishing in its waters is numerous. The origins of Carpinone, although not very ancient, date back to at least the tenth century since in 1064 the count of Isernia Bernardo had founded the Monastery of San Marco here, then donated to the abbey of Cassino. Belonged to the County of Isernia during the Lombard domination, in the Norman and Swabian era it belonged to the County of Molise. At the beginning of the Angevin period it became a fiefdom of Tommaso d'Evoli and returned to his family in 1382 after it had belonged first to the Tucciaco family and then to the Count of Gravina.

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.
