In the 10th century, in the province of Isernia, a charming village was born to which the Carpino stream, a tributary of the Volturno, will give its name.

Going up the stairs that cross the town, we meet the castle. Located on the highest point, it dominates the city. Previously, the seat of Giacomo Caldora, a mercenary captain who sided with the Angevins against the Aragonese ned today.

Inside, you can still see the damage suffered during the earthquakes of 1456 and 1805.

Near the castle is the Church of Santa Maria Assunta in Cielo, which preserves the remains of the town's patron saint, St. Roch of Montpellier.

Famous in Carpinone is the waterfall in Schioppo, the cave with stalagmites in Fontanelle, and the "Source of the Sick," so-called for the lightness of the water and its diuretic properties.

Among the typical local dishes, noteworthy is the "Taccozzelle and beans," a hand-made pasta with a rhomboid shape that has its roots in the Arab world.
