FrosoloneProvince of Isernia, Molise region, Italy
The town was almost completely destroyed by the 1805 earthquake, then rebuilt and is now a tourist destination. It is a celebrating manufactory center of hand-made knives and scissors. The imposing Samnite walls still extant in the areas called Civitella and Castellone are what is left of fortresses built by the Samnites in their wars against the Romans. Frosolone belonged to the countdom of Isernia under the Lombards, then in the 14th century became a fiefdom of the Evoli, in the 16th of the Montagano Counts, to pass under the Re Raho, Marchesano, and finally to the Muscettola family.
