Italy

Province of Campobasso

Administrative territorial entity Non-metropolitan county Province of Italy

Province of Campobasso, Province in Molise, Italy

Description

The province of Campobasso is an administrative area in Molise featuring mountains, hills, valleys, and a section of Adriatic coastline. It contains 84 municipalities, with Campobasso serving as the capital and Termoli as a significant coastal center.

History

The territory was originally inhabited by the Samnites, then became a Roman settlement, and later formed part of the Lombard duchy of Benevento. This succession of powers shaped the region's development over centuries.

Culture

Three municipalities in the east speak a Croatian dialect inherited from the 15th century, preserving a language their ancestors brought to these mountains. Acquaviva Collecroce, San Felice, and Montemitro keep this heritage alive in daily conversation and local traditions.

Practical

Visiting requires planning since the region spans multiple centers best explored by car, with coastal areas more easily accessible than mountain villages. Allow flexibility in your itinerary to reach remote settlements on winding roads.

Did you know?

The region specializes in winter pear cultivation, an uncommon specialty grown in few other Italian areas, bringing distinctive flavors to local markets. A longstanding tradition of cutlery craftsmanship has also shaped local artisan practices for generations.
