Quadrilocale in Campobasso

The cluster is in the built-up area of Campobasso, so the immediate setting is an inland provincial city rather than open countryside. The Molise Apennines rise around the city, with the Matese massif to the southwest within about 15 km. Campobasso sits on hilly terrain with views over inland valleys rather than on a major lake, river or coast. The nearest substantial town is Campobasso itself, which has the regional administrative functions, a historic upper town, and Castello Monforte on the hill above the centre. The area is known as the main urban centre of Molise and as a service hub for the surrounding inland hill country.
