Capracotta, Mountain municipality in Molise, Italy

Located at 1,421 meters above sea level, Capracotta extends across 42 square kilometers of mountainous terrain in the Province of Isernia.

Archaeological findings near Romito Mountain revealed a bronze plate with Caraceni inscriptions, now exhibited at the British Museum, indicating pre-Roman settlements.

The Pezzata festival, held annually on the first Sunday of August, brings together residents for traditional roasted lamb dishes and regional music.

Visitors can reach Capracotta by taking flights to Rome, Naples, or Pescara airports, followed by train service to Isernia and local bus connections.
