The New York Times included the Molise region among the ''52 places to visit in 2020''. Many people do not know this small region in Southern Italy, but it holds great surprises. Among the small villages that deserve a visit, there is certainly Larino, in the province of Campobasso, located between the hills and the Adriatic Sea.

The Roman Town

The origins of Larino are probably Etruscan tracing back to the 12th century BC, but it is under the Romans that Larinum becomes an important administrative, commercial and economic center. Archaeological researchs conducted since the 1970s unhearted some of Molise's most significant finds, such as coins, statuettes, votive material, and more importantly the remains of civil and religious buildings, paved streets and mosaic floors.
