Civitanova del Sannio

Province of Isernia, Molise region, Italy

It was a settlement of the Samnites, as proven by the remains of pre-Roman, Italic walls on the hills now called "Le Case" and "La Civita", which formed one massive, almost unconquerable fortification with the surrounding rocks. Then it was inhabited in the Middle Ages, as proven by the presence of a church and belltower, but most probably lost in importance, and was called "Civitanova" (=new town) since it was build below the ancient fortress. The name "del Sannio" was added after the unity of Italy, to distinguish it from other places of the same name. Today it is a very lively place inthe summer, when many come to enjoy the delicious cuisine based on cavatelli and sausages.
