Cusano Mutri

Cusano Mutri, in the province of Benevento, lies on the southern side of the Matese Regional Park, on the border between Campania and Molise. Set within a mountainous landscape marked by beech and chestnut forests and the striking Lavello Gorge, the village preserves the intact character of its medieval center, with narrow, winding streets, ancient stone houses, and bell towers rising from the urban fabric. Located in an area historically linked to the ancient Samnium Pentrum, Cusano Mutri stands out for the strong bond that the community continues to nurture with the land, its centuries-old traditions, and a still-vibrant collective dimension, choosing to inhabit and care for the village in the present. Its identity lies in the intertwining of landscape, local history, rural practices, popular festivals, music, and gastronomic culture.
