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.

Castiglione di Carovilli (IS)
Castiglione di Carovilli (o Castiglione) è una frazione del comune di Carovilli, nella provincia di Isernia, Molise. Sito in una zona di grande valore paesaggistico e faunistico, oggi conta circa 200 abitanti, mentre agli inizi del secolo la popolazione era attorno al migliaio di unità. Rilevante è la presenza dell'Oasi WWF di Collearso (attraversata dal fiume Trigno) nella quale si possono osservare molte specie di mammiferi (cinghiale, daino, volpe, lupo, puzzola europea, tasso, donnola), uccelli (nibbio), rettili (vipera comune, lucertola, biscia) e anfibi. Per ciò che riguarda il patrimonio storico e architettonico va segnalata l'antica chiesa sul colle, risalente al Quattrocento, che oggi, specie nei mesi estivi, ospita manifestazioni teatrali e di musica classica.

Rocchetta al Volturno
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.

Capracotta, winter 2022
Capracotta is an Italian town of 833 inhabitants in the province of Isernia, in Molise. It suffered great destruction during the Second World War and from the second half of the twentieth century it developed on the tourist level as a Molise ski resort together with Campitello Matese. Located at 1,421 meters above sea level, it is, from a geographical point of view, one of the highest areas of the Apennines as well as being the highest municipality in Molise. The town is located on the parallel 41 ½ and on the meridian of Castel dell'Ovo and extends between the countryside of Pescopennataro and Sant'Angelo del Pesco to the north, that of Agnone to the east, of Vastogirardi to the south and S. Pietro Avellana and Castel del Giudice. The highest point in the municipal area is the summit of Monte Campo at 1746 m a.s.l. Downstream of the town, towards the south, are the sources of the Verrino, a tributary of the river Trigno. Just outside the town, on the road to Pescopennataro, is the "Garden of Apennine Flora", a high altitude botanical garden that collects notable floral and tree species from central and southern Italy. Capracotta is an important climatic and ski resort. It has two important facilities: one for alpine skiing, in Monte Capraro, with a chairlift; the other for cross-country skiing in Prato Gentile: the latter facility was the site of the Absolute Italian Cross-Country Skiing Championships in 1997.
