POI BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Description of the POI	The Italian word "mezzacanna" defines a bronze bar fixed on the wall of a house in Cannavina street. It represents a linear Unit of Measure used from the 1st of January of 1841 in all the Naples’ Kingdom districts, in order to unify the measurement units in all the Kingdom. The "Canna", mostly used to measure fabrics, was about 264 cm, the one that stays in Campobasso represents half of the measure: 132 cm. Its use is linked to the presence, at that time, of a street market in the area.
