Fornelli
Molise
Fornelli keeps an intact ring of walls with seven cylindrical towers around a tidy grid of stone lanes and the church of San Michele. It sits in a sea of olive trees — its oil is prized — with the Mainarde and the Volturno valley as a backdrop. One of the "borghi più belli d'Italia".
