The anfiteatro surrounded by residences. Until the late 1950s three families still lived and farmed here. #weareinmolise #saepinum #campocasso #lourooitaly2019

Saepinum - One of the best #archeological sites in Italy but least visited. #weareinmolise #campobasso #therealsecretitaly, don’t tell anyone. #lourooitaly2019

Lovely warm day for a walk along the memorial pine pathway (remembering ‘i caduti’, the fallen in WWI) to visit Campobasso’ Castello Montforte and the adjacent Chiesa di Santa Maria del Monte. #weareinmolise #campobasso #Molise #lourooitaly2019

Campomarino, Molise, has one of the many Albanian (or Arbëreshë) communities in southern Italy. Fleeing the Turks from the 14th to 18th centuries, they brought their language, customs, gastronomy and religion, an orthodox Christianity. We saw these murals a few days ago in the Centro Storico of Campomarino. They represent aspects of Arbëreshë life from times past. #weareinmolise #campomarino #lourooitaly2019

Italian shop signs use the best fonts. #fontlover #Lucera #puglia #weareinpuglia #lourooitaly2019

Around almost every corner of Termoli there is a glimpse of my happy place... the Adriatic Sea. #lourooitaly2019 #volgomolise #termoli

When you walk out of the train station at Caserta, you face this incredible royal palace. Architect Luigi Vanvitelli was charged by the Bourbon King of Naples with designing a palace to rival Versailles. Construction took place from 1752 and the palace was inaugurated in 1774. Luigi’s son Carlo is also credited with some later sections of the overall complex. The grounds are huge and include an English garden, fountains and a waterfall! You can stay in this friendly town as we did, or visit from Naples as there are regular trains; it’s only 24 kilometres away. My top tip? Wear comfortable shoes and pack snacks/ panini and water for a picnic. The cafes in gardens and at castle look yucky and are crowded. #caserta #campania #reggiadicaserta #lourooitaly2019

Caserta is visited by most for the palace that surpasses Versailles in size. I’ll share my snaps later on that. But if you wander a bit, you’ll find that these little corners of the city are just as eye-catching. #caserta #campania #lourooitaly2019 #hiddenitaly #versosud
