Geographical notes
In theMolise Apennines of the Central Molise, Trivento is 38 km from Agnone, 40 from Campobasso, 46 from Isernia, 50 from Vast, 56 from Larino, 64 from Termoli,
Background
Inhabited since the most distant prehistoric times - there are Paleolithic traces - the area saw the settlement of the Osci, when Trivento was called Tpebintm. The Samnite descendants made Trivento their most important center, while Alfedena was for the Caraceni, Benevento for the Caudini and Larino for the Frentani.
Having come into contact with the Romans, then expanding, the Samnites fought a war against them. The Samnite cities were subdued; Trivento, devastated several times, was then repopulated by Roman colonists, becoming Municipium.
After the barbarian invasions, at the fall of the Roman Empire, the city was part of the Lombard duchy of Benevento, to then pass to the counts of Molise. Infeited several times, it was also equipped with fortifications that have now disappeared. As evidence of the importance of the city over the centuries is the institution of the Diocese (probably believed to be in the IV-V century).

What see
- 1 Cathedral, Climb the Cathedral,, ☎ 39 0874 871745. The church of Saints Nazario, Celso and Vittore is the cathedral of Trivento, and the cathedral of the diocese of the same name.
- The temple has very ancient origins and was built on the remains of a Roman pagan temple. According to a legend, it was through the intervention of Saint Ambrose that the heads of Saints Nazario and Celso were moved from Milan in Trivento in 398.
- The current building dates back to the 11th century. A plaque today placed in one of the internal pillars near the entrance certifies the consecration of the cathedral on May 15, 1076 and its dedication to the saints Nazario and Celso. The church then underwent several renovations, in particular in the Baroque period and in the eighteenth century.
- The neoclassical façade dates from 1905; in it there is a portal with frame and tympanum, while in the upper part there is a mosaic enclosed in a frame. Next to it rises the bell tower.
- The interior has three naves divided by pillars supporting pointed arches; it is embellished with eighteenth-century stuccoes. Also from the 18th century are the high altar (1743), the wooden choir and the paintings found in the presbytery.
- Crypt of San Casto
- Of particular historical and architectural value is the crypt, dating back to the 11th-12th century and dedicated to San Casto. A Roman inscription at the base of a pillar with the dedication to Diana suggests that the crypt was built on an ancient Roman temple dedicated to this deity. The environment is divided by the bare columns into seven small naves; it is also enriched by the presence of 13th century frescoes, a wooden statue of the Madonna on the throne and a stone bas-relief depicting the Trinity between angels and dolphins, from the same period.
- Recent excavations have made it possible to bring to light the remains of a baptistery.
- Church of the Holy Cross. The current church is the result of the restoration work carried out several times in the nineteenth century and in 1989; the building was enlarged and raised, thus modifying its original structure dating back to the fifteenth century.
- Church of SS. Trinity. Founded in the sixteenth century, it is located in front of the Cathedral. Since 2001 it is the seat of Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art. Inside, the original wooden altar from 1854 is preserved; the back wall reveals the remains of an ancient stone altar.
- Church of the Purgatory. It is believed to have been built in the 17th century. It was extensively restored in the 1980s and has been used for sacred weekday celebrations ever since.
- Church of San Nicola. Datable between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries,
- Capuchin Church. The interior follows the Renaissance canons; the altars are baroque. The so-called style Cappuccino, as the church of a convent of that monastic order, we can read on the facade and in the small bell tower. The convent from 1570 is now used as a retirement home and partly as a nursery school.
- Sanctuary of Santa Maria di Maiella.
