Churches and Blacksmithing in Frosolone

In Frosolone, scissors and knives are part of an old, centuries-old craft tradition. Visitors can watch local artisans forge scissors and knives at a hot forge. The Chiesa di S. Maria delle Grazie in Frosolone dates back to the 15th century and was expanded and decorated in 1533. For individual planning, the Chiesa di S. Maria delle Grazie and the forging demonstration at the forge in Frosolone can be scheduled as separate activities.

Landscape Between Mountains, Pastures and Rocks

Morgia Quadra is a natural climbing rock a few kilometres uphill from Frosolone on the inland road to the characteristic Sant’Egidio Chapel. Those who include Morgia Quadra in their plans should take into account the few kilometres uphill from Frosolone when planning the day.

The landscape around Frosolone includes steep rocky slopes, pastures, small lakes and forests. The meadows and pastures of Frosolone are also dotted with numerous small bodies of water. Colle Camberlino and Pesco della Messa are mountains in the immediate vicinity of Sant'Anna. Colle Tentale and Colle dell'Orso are mountains in the surrounding area of Sant'Anna. Thus, rocky slopes and mountains stand alongside open pastures, small lakes, bodies of water and forests.

Cheese-Making Tradition and Molisan Cuisine

Frosolone's cheese-making tradition includes Caciocavallo, Scamorza and Pecorino. At the Casetta del Pastore, cheesemakers process milk from their cows into tasty, natural dairy products.
