The building that is now used as the Town Hall was built in the first half of the 18th century and is a reminder of the typical domestic style of Pescocostanzo architecture with an external staircase to enter the house and a loggia in front of the main entrance. The building is laid out over three different levels. The ground floor has three stone portals, the main floor features the...
![Casa D'Amata]( "Casa D'Amata")
Located on the road down to the Valley of Tommaso D'Amata, this house was built in the late 16th century, as we can see by the date 1594 engraved on one of the two stone portals. The House of Amata, which formerly belonged to the barons of Civita Luparella, is an accomplished example of a "Pescolana Dwelling", both for its formal composition and structure, and for the decoration of the facade....
The building has an unusual facade resulting from the annexation of two or more adjacent buildings on the slope. This led to the creation, in the eastern section of the building, of an additional basement, identified by a series of four tile windows that run up to the secondary access door.
The building therefore has five floors to the east while there are four on the other side. The...
Located in the lower area of the historical centre of the village, in the district of Covatta, this building is stylistically attributable to the first half of the 18th century and has two open sides. The side which overlooks Via delle Dee is on four levels and has simpler architectural lines. In the middle, there is a semi-circular entrance-way topped by swirls and a Baroque pediment with...
The building originally belonging to the Colecchi family is today the property of the Town Hall. It is the result of the renovation of an existing building, which was completed in 1771. We know this from an inscription on the upper crowning of the main entrance way on via Bisanti: HUMILIS DOMUS HAEC NON HUMILE SI(B)I PARAT AUSPICIU(M) DUM HUMILITER SUB AUGU(STI)SS(IM)O INTEM(MERATAE) DEIPARAE...
The building has had various uses over the centuries. It was the seat of the court or the Captain of Justice, the Curia, the district prison, the district court and a school. It now houses the town library, named after "Gaetano Sabatini", on the first floor and the Tourist Office on the ground floor.
The fortified building was equipped with corner watchtowers that guaranteed its defense from the frequent incursions of brigands that raged in mountain areas in the 17th century. Historically it belonged to the barons of Pietransieri. Only later did it pass to the ownership of the De Capite family. In the early decades of the 19th century the building was the subject of a partial...
Palazzo Mansi is the private property of the Mansi family which owns a substantial number of cattle as well as, since 1627, the small village of Pizzone in the province of Isernia. It is an interesting example of civil architecture from the second half of the 17th century. In the 1710 view of Pescocostanzo by De Mattheis, the building is shown already in its present form and the decorations of...
This building is structured over four levels. The middle section of the main facade features an elegant stone portal and, above it, a sequence of two wide stone balconies with elegant wrought-iron balustrades - the work of local craftsmen.
This imposing building, which once belonged to the patriot Nicholas Ricciardelli from Pescocostanzo, was once much smaller and was equipped, as in other similar buildings, with a watchtower on the corner. This guaranteed the protection of the building from the frequent incursions of bandits that raged in the mountain areas between the 17th and 18th centuries. The building was enlarged in the...
The Sabatini Palazzo was made by joining together three 18th century buildings and a fourth unit, adjacent to the main façade of the collegiate church of S. Maria del Colle, which, in 1715, already had a portal at street level. The main facade on Via Colecchi is on three floors: the ground floor consists of shops, a middle floor features stone windows with moulded frames and a horizontal...
