Agnone

Agnone sits at an elevation of 830 meters on a hill near the Verrino river, with medieval buildings and stone houses extending across nine quarters.

The settlement dates back to Roman times, with remains scattered throughout the area showing evidence of Samnite civilization and subsequent cultural developments.

The Ndocciata festival in December features participants from different town quarters carrying large wooden torches through streets accompanied by bagpipe music.

The town maintains regular bus connections to major cities in Molise, though visitors should consider using personal vehicles for exploring the surrounding region.

The Pontificia Fonderia Marinelli bell foundry operates since 1000 AD, producing bronze bells that ship worldwide and maintaining a museum of metallurgical craft.
