Trivento, Italian comune
Trivento is a small commune in the province of Campobasso with stone houses and red-tiled roofs clustered on a hillside. Narrow streets wind past old churches, small squares, and a notable staircase of 365 steps that ascends to the Church of San Nicola.
The town was founded by the Sanniti people and later became a Roman city with its own administration. A diocese was established in the late first century, becoming a spiritual center that resulted in the construction of numerous churches, including the cathedral with its medieval crypts.
Trivento is known for its crochet and needlework traditions, which add color to the town's squares and streets. The handcrafted decorations and pride locals take in their work show how these crafts are woven into the community's identity.
Exploring on foot is the best way to discover the narrow streets, old buildings, and squares. Sturdy footwear is recommended for the uneven cobblestone streets, though the relatively compact layout makes walking around quite manageable.
In 2018, Trivento created the world's longest crocheted rug, which stretched down the staircase of San Nicola. This remarkable achievement shows how the town merges its craft traditions with modern artistic celebrations while attracting artisans from around the world.
