Bagnoli del Trigno, Province Isernia, Molise, Italy

Against the splendid scenery of the Trigno Valley, made of mountains, forests, calanques, hamlets, this small town is called "the pearl of Molise". Built around a huge rock dominating the Vella River, the huge Borrello fortress still rises, though greatly damaged in the centuries; the Borrello gave place to the Counts of Molise, then to Riccardo of Montefuscolo, the Cantelmo and Sanfelice families.
