Trivento

Trivento is a town with a millennia-old history—an ancient Samnite settlement, a Roman municipium, a county, and an episcopal seat—located in the Trigno Valley. The town center preserves a rich architectural heritage: the Romanesque Cathedral of Saints Nazarius, Celsus and Vittore, along with the Crypt of Saint Casto, the Bishop’s Palace, the Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art, the Count’s Palace, and the Piano, a garden-belvedere overlooking the valley. The original core is a weave of alleys, courtyards, and passages enclosed by the monumental Stairway of San Nicola. The surrounding landscape is shaped by the Regio Tratturo, waterways, and the Morge—imposing limestone monoliths that are guardians of biodiversity. Known as the “City of Crochet,” Trivento celebrates women’s craftsmanship and the skilled work of hands that have been weaving wool threads for generations.
