Isernia

Capital of Isernia province in Molise region, south-central Italy, 35 km/22 mi west of Campobasso; population (1991) 20,900. Agriculture and related commerce are important, and industries include textiles, brick, and pottery; since 1970 there has been a rapid expansion in the public sector. There is traditional lacemaking. Isernia has a 14th-century cathedral and numerous antiquities.

Pietro Angeleri (Pope Celestine V) was born here.

Isernia was originally a Samnite town until taken by the Romans in about 260 BC. A subterranean Roman aqueduct still supplies water to the town, and there is a notable Roman bridge. The massive polygonal walls, which form the foundation of the present town walls, are attributed to the Samnites.
