Agnone is a village in Upper Molise, an Orange Flag awarded to the region's most beautiful landscapes, perched at an altitude of approximately 830–840 meters on a hill overlooking the Verrino Valley. It is world-famous for the Marinelli Pontifical Bell Foundry and the Bell Museum, among the oldest foundries in Italy and the world. The historic center, with its Venetian quarter, historic buildings, and numerous churches, reflects a long artisan tradition, particularly in metalworking and quality cheesemaking.

The Collemeluccio reserve is one of the two oriented nature reserves that are part of the "Collemeluccio-Montedimezzo Alto Molise" Biosphere Reserve, recognized by UNESCO in 1977. It is located in the province of Isernia, hosts one of the most beautiful beech woods in Italy and it can be visited with a ring itinerary that starts from the forest center.

Municipality which, given its conformation, is culturally divided into "terra di sotto" and "terra di sopra". The village is in fact built close to a rocky massif.

Il paese si trova nel cuore del Molise, in provincia di Isernia, ed è stato costruito su un rilievo collinare a ridosso di un massiccio roccioso che divide il fiume Trigno dal torrente Vella. L’incredibile posizione in cui sorge ha reso Bagnoli del Trigno un’attrazione turistica senza precedenti. In effetti, è come osservare un giocattolino intagliato dalla roccia dalle mani di un gigante, e la linearità delle costruzioni è elemento caratteristico del paesino. Essendo situato a due differenti altezze, a partire da 660 metri di altitudine sino ad arrivare ai 783 metri del punto più alto, il borgo è socialmente e culturalmente scisso in due zone, rispettivamente chiamate Terra di sotto e Terra di sopra. Passeggiare lungo le vie che, dal centro storico, si diramano per l’intero paese è come fare un vero e proprio viaggio nel tempo. Sulle origini di questo ameno borgo non si sa molto. Le leggende sulla nascita di Bagnoli del Trigno sono le più varie: chi fa cenno a una sorgente termale che diede vita al primo nucleo urbano, chi invece ritiene che tutto abbia avuto inizio per mano di una tribù in fuga dalle invasioni barbariche. Ciò che è certo è che le prime notizie ufficiali risalgono al medioevo, quando il centro abitato era un feudo appartenente al Contado del Molise. Le sue alterne vicende lo videro passare di mano in mano tra varie famiglie importanti, sia italiane che straniere. Nei secoli successivi, Bagnoli del Trigno divenne parte del Regno di Napoli e, in seguito, del Regno d’Italia. È proprio in questo periodo che visse il suo massimo splendore, prima di subire un fenomeno di emigrazione che lo portò quasi allo spopolamento. Moltissimi abitanti oggi risiedono a Roma, tanto che la capitale vanta un numero di bagnolesi più elevato rispetto a quello di coloro che si trovano ancora nella loro terra natia. Ma il piccolo borgo risplende ancora, grazie alle attività di artigianato e al turismo. Scopriamo alcune delle sue meraviglie.
