Overview
Ferrazzano stands in a dominant position atop a high hill, with the outer perimeter closed by an uninterrupted line of houses which you can admire from the valley below.
Perched on a hill, surrounded by a thick and shady pine forest, the village of Ferrazzano offers visitors glimpses of great beauty. One's gaze can sweep from the Mainarde to the Matese chain, as far as the Maiella and the city of Campobasso. The old part of the village, a tangle of winding alleys and ups and downs, with its stone houses intertwined with each other, tells of the need to protect the dwellings from the cold and wind of winter. The castle and the remains of the imposing fortified walls bear witness to the village's mediaeval past. Always a land of emigrants, the family of origin of the great Hollywood actor Robert De Niro also left from Ferrazzano.
