|
The region of Molise, one of the poorest and remotest in Italy, lies in the Neapolitan Apennines (Appennino Napolitano) in eastern Central Italy.
General information
Bounded on the north by the region of Abruzzi, with which it is linked by historical and cultural tradition and with which it was combined until 1963 to form the region of Abruzzi e Molise. Molise extends from the karstic hills of the Monti del Matese (Monte Miletto, 2,050m/6,765ft) in the south- west to the edge of the wide Apulian plain in the east and the Adriatic to the north-east. The inhabitants gain a modest subsistence from arable and pastoral farming.
