In
1963 Molise separated from Abruzzo to become an independent region. It is
divided into two provinces, Campobasso and Isernia, and its territory is
composed of areas that differ widely from each other morphologically as well as
historically and anthropologically.
Molise can be reached by car (A 14 motorway:
Pescara-Bari, A 1: Rome-Naples and A 16: Naples-Bari) or train (Rome/Naples-Foggia
line; Vairano/Caianello-Campobasso; Carpinone-Isernia-Pescolanciano-Sulmona line
and Bologna-Bari line).
