City of Isernia

Isernia is an Italian town of 22,007 inhabitants, capital of the province in Molise.
First documented Paleolithic settlement of Europe, burgeoning Sunni city, capital of the Italic League, Roman Municipium, tenacious opponent against Napoleon's troops and Piedmont, a gold medal for valor for civilian bombing during the Second World War and finally provincial capital ; Isernia is one of the base city of Alto Molise. Although its history has always been tied to the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, Isernia is separated from it culturally and urbanism as it has many features of the cities of central Italy.

Traditions and Folklore

Even today you can listen to the women working in the streets of old pillow, especially during the afternoon of the summer season.
The thing that distinguishes the pillow Isernia compared to others is, in addition to the fine workmanship, a type of yarn produced in the area of ivory that makes everything work more light and elegant.
Its introduction in the city is of ancient origin, it is assumed that the diffusion goes back to the fourteenth century by the Spanish nuns who were staying at the monastery of Santa Maria delle Monache. Queen Joanna of Aragon was very fond of this type of lace, in fact, during his stay in the city learned the process from local teachers.
Over time the lace is worked less and less in the traditional way and in an increasingly industrial. It is also subject at the Institute of Art in the city.
