POI BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Description of the POI	Campobasso is a medieval town built on a hill dominated by the Monforte Castle, feudal symbol of the city. From the sixteenth century, the economic and demographic growth leads to an expansion of the village protected by the ancient walls. A new urban expansion involving the land at the foot of the hill begins. In the past these territories were cultivated fields and woods. From the nineteenth century, according to the French taste of the wide streets, a new urban centre was designed. It was intended for the emerging middle class, and characterized by tree-lined squares, avenues, urban villas, botanical gardens and gardens which have assigned to Campobasso the name of "Garden City".
