Caseificio Di Pasquo's "cheese cellar" was opened in december 2014 to show visitors either the old supply chain to produce cheeses and, also, the tools used in past. The space was thought to point out the aging phases before tasting the some of our best products.

We had been recommended a visit to the Agnone bell foundry. It is located in the centre of Agnone, at the top of a side street and just a short stroll from the main road. The foundry is entered through a gift shop that is best perused once the tour has been completed, in order to fully appreciate the handcrafted gifts on offer. The entrance fee is €5 and includes a 15 minute extremely informative video on how a bell is made (this video is available in different languages) I had never given the bell making process a huge amount of thought before, that was until I visited the Marinelli foundry. What a thoroughly interesting process it is and one that has remained unchanged for centuries. The bell makers and bell artists are true artisans and their finished products breathtaking. I really enjoyed wandering through the foundry, following the video. We didn’t have a guide but the staff were happy for us to wander. There is an exhibit area showing the visitor many of the different bells made over the years and some are mounted onto frames allowing them to be rung. These bells are huge and something I had only really viewed when looking up at a bell tower. The chimes of the different bells are delightful and it felt like a real treat to be able to ring them and see them up close. Many of the Marinelli bells over the years have been made for the Vatican and other significant Italian landmarks. Their foundry has also been given the Papal seal. Lastly the tour takes you through the working foundry. The smoke scented aroma from the wood fired furnaces really enhances the educational environment. All in all a great place to visit. A visit here only takes around an hour.

Historic museum of Copper was born thanks to Gerbasi's family who were the last coppersmiths of the Agnonese noble art, the museum name founder coppersmith Francesco born in San Buono (Ch) 1856. The visit of the museum is more than just a historic past: it is an emotional and understanding of the sacrifice of hard work but also describing even the genius of the people that working copper built up the wealth for centuries. The reconstruction of the environment with the original tools collected over centuries evoke the atmosphere of the world of copper and telling the story and secret of this ancient art that has moved across the centuries until now. So this museum is a magic place where you can live a unique experience and learn the historical facts of copper.
