Isernia

Isernia is a small city in Italy's Molise region, set among the Apennine hills of the south where the Volturno river rises. Its historic centre keeps Roman and medieval traces, and the area is known for the Paleolithic site of Isernia La Pineta and its proximity to the surrounding national park. Property here is mostly low-rise town apartments and houses, in a quiet inland setting suited to buyers seeking a calm southern Italian base away from the coast.
