Villa Minini

In the list of the castles of Manzano among the totally destroyed, there also that of Rodegliano which would have existed in the locality of the same name, now Rodeano (high and low), approximately seven kilometers west of Fagagna, six kilometers south of San Daniele and six kilometers east of Tagliamento river.
One of his lords would have been “D. Henricus de Rodeano” (1220), Enrico de Rodegliano, with Volvileo di Castelnuovo, Enrico di Flagogna, Corrado di Meduno, Volchero di Toppo e Ugerlo di Fanna, distinguish gentleman of that era, was a witness to the contract concluded in February 1220 for which Randolfo and Alberto, sons of Uramo di Toppo, ceded the castle and the jurisdiction of Toppo, Traneb and other places from which an income was obtained to the brothers Engelpretto, Brisa e Varnero (di Sifrido) di Ragogna. 
By decree of the Venetian Senate (2 June 1678) and with the ducal of Most Serene Prince Alvise Contarini (8 August), the noble Riccardo Elti was invested, also for his male descendants, with the jurisdiction of the Villas of Rodeano and Rive d’Arcano to which the count’s title was united.
If the Manzano list says is true… in the same place stands the fourth building, surrounded by a solid wall, flanked by two towers with a medieval look with is located in the square of High Rodeano and that it was already owned by Elti Counts ad now it belongs to the Minini family from the early 1900s. Villa Minini is on three floors which developed a total area of 960 square meters. Each floor is characterized by a very generously sized central body from which it is possible to access four rooms on either side of the same. The villa is immersed in the greenery being surrounded by a garden of 2500 square meters from which it is possible to access, through a suggestive tree-lined avenue of thirteen hectares of property grown organically. 
Also part of the complex are the appurtenances such as the former spinning mill, the tables and the turret, all in exposed stone.

Villa de Capoa

Villa De Capoa is an important site in Campobasso. It is located nearby the ex-Franciscan monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie, founded in the sixteenth century by Andrea De Capoa, lord of the city. It was used by the monks as a garden for the cultivation of medicinal herbs. In the eighteenth century the Villa became a private property mostly used for walking, in 1806 it became an elegant Italian garden. In 1875 the last owner Marianna De Capoa donated it to the orphanage that bears her name. In 1929 it became a public property managed by the Municipality. Its dimensions are about 16,000 square meters. Inside there is a tuff cave, a fountain, a courtyard with a stone balcony and two tombs in fifteenth century’s style. It is a peaceful oasis in where you can walk and spend time surrounded by nature. In summer some concerts are played in there and it hosts an inclusive playground too.

Villa Musenga

Villa Musenga is an elegant garden located behind Palazzo S. Giorgio, the seat of the City Hall of Campobasso. It stands on the area of the Madonna della Livera, an ex-convent destroyed by an earthquake in 1805. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the Economic Society decided to use it as a botanical garden with the aim of planting new tree species and new seeds. For economic reasons, in the second half of the century the garden became a green area with reducing dimensions to allow the construction of the Town Hall and the Military District. In 1885 the garden was transformed into a villa bordered by a wrought iron railing that was pulled out in 1939. The reference to the Cannons comes from the First World War, when some Skoda cannons, no longer present today, confiscated to the enemy armies were kept. Today the square is dedicated to Bernandino Musenga, a local protagonist of the nineteenth century. At the centre of the Villa, next to many trees, there’s an artwork called "Tree of dreams", a monument donated by the local artist Gino Marotta.
