Molise and its culture
Il Molise, like many other regions in Italy, has developed its own unique culture within the broader Italian culture. The true beauty of this distinct culture lies in its deep connection to nature and the pride the people have for "their mountain." This mountain is rich in history, from agricultural advancements like the use of farming terraces on its slopes, to the fierce battles that shaped the future of Italy. One notable aspect is the legendary Molisano Black Bean, which was used by the citizens of nearby towns to signal the Partisans about the presence of Germans, or to indicate when it was safe to resupply and visit loved ones before returning to the mountains to continue their resistance against the Germans and the Italian Fascist regime. This is a culture of resilient people, fighters, lovers, and protectors of their mountain, their neighbors, and their country.

A Culture of Nature
The locals have a deep connection to nature, having worked these fields for thousands of years. They have hunted and fed from the local game these mountains offer, while also serving as educators and protectors. A prime example of their dedication is the Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Molise, a public association responsible for the park's maintenance, protection, and visitor safety. We highly recommend visiting their site if you plan to explore the park. You won't regret it!
A Culture of the People
This community is known for its strong sense of togetherness, embodying the saying, "It takes a village to raise a child."
