Campobasso

The city extends across a high basin at 701 meters elevation, with the old district positioned on a hill and newer sections in the valley below.

The settlement originated before the 8th century as Campus vassorum, serving as a fortified camp for the vassals of the Duke of Spoleto.

The archaeological museum in Campobasso contains a collection of artifacts from ancient Italic peoples, including Samnites, Frentani, and Campani populations.

The transportation network includes a railway station connecting two major lines and multiple bus routes operated by SEAC throughout the urban area.

The city maintains a tradition of manufacturing cutlery, along with the production of winter-ripening pears and scamorze, a regional semi-hard cheese.
