Scarth Street
Recently in Campobasso some fragments of history have been found thanks to the action promoted by the Centro Storico Association.
In Piazza Pepe, on the wall of a building, is engraved the inscription "SCARTH ST" (or Scarth Street) a road sign made by the soldiers of the "Royal Canadian Regiment" during the Second World War. In 1943, in fact, the allied troops who came to liberate Campobasso from the German occupation, renamed many places of the center with names of famous English streets and squares and also the city was called "Canada Town".
