There is a small and suggestive village in the upper Molise, suggestively nestled in the Mainarde mountains, which preserves an ancient tradition: it is Scapoli, the capital of the Italian bagpipes, called ‘zampogne’. A museum and an international festival celebrate this ancient musical instrument.
Molise boasts a small collection of Egyptian artifacts. It is possible to admire it in the splendid museum of Baranello, a few kilometers from Campobasso.
The civic museum of Baranello (Campobasso) is a hidden and little-known jewel. It is unique in Molise and among the few examples in Italy of nineteenth-century collecting still intact today.
The museums, monuments and archaeological sites of Molise will be open on Easter and Easter Monday. Find out where to go and what to visit.
Molise takes part in the Archeofest in Rome, the experimental archeology festival held at the Museo delle Civiltà from 5 to 7 April 2019. Molise is worthily represented by the Museum of Costumes of Molise (Musec) of Isernia.
