Museo Provinciale Sannitico MIBAC Campobasso
Molise
The Museum was founded in 1881 and was housed, together with the Provincial Library, in the Palazzo della Prefettura. The material was first catalogued by the archaeologist Antonio Sogliano, who published the inventory in 1889. Since then, the Museum and the Library have experienced alternating fortunes and many changes of location until 1995, when the Museum was set up in the premises of the eighteenth-century Palazzo Mazzarotta, in the historic centre of Campobasso.

Pozze sul Vandra
Molise
The river Vandra (in dialect La Vandura) is one of the longest rivers in the province of Isernia (about 30 km), it flows on mainly clayey and impermeable soils, so it has a torrential character. Starting from Villa San Michele, a small village, now abandoned, in the municipality of Vastogirardi, and then descending along the river bed, one is fascinated by the beauty of the landscape and the extraordinary clarity and transparency of the water.

Morgia Quadra a Frosolone
Molise
On the mountain of Frosolone, located between the Valley of Trigno and the Valley of Biferno, in Colle dell'Orso, there is the cliff of Morgia Quadra, so called for its characteristic square shape. In a mountain environment between 1200 and 1300 m.s.l.m., there is one of the most popular places in Molise in Italy for sport climbing. Its rocky walls of gray limestone, variously exposed to the sun in a very ventilated area, are perfect to climb all day long, especially in spring and autumn.
