Region Molise Province Campobasso DURONIA

Duronia, Province Campobasso, Molise, Italy

The names comes from an ancient Samnite town that was conquered by the Roman consul Papirius Cursor in 293 B.C., and was reused again for the present town only after 1875. Until then, the name was Civitavecchia, from the hill called "civita", where a wide panorama as far as the Majella can be enjoyed.
