Pietrabbondante



Yes...abundant rocks - quite a setting




temptation...


This from cheese store in nearby Agnone - in 12 blocks of walking the main street, there were 6 macelleria (butchers) selling housemade sausage and meat from nearby farms. And there were 5 Caseficios - cheese shops selling their own products. This a mountainous area 4,00o-5,000 ft with wide fertile valleys - so livestock the main "crop.,"

There she is!





And beneath the town is a Samnite remnant - name? - A fairly intact theatre and a forum for judicial and other official goings-on from the 3rd C. b.c.
