With a surface of over 1500 square kilometers, the limestone massif of Matese stretches between Molise and Campania and falls within the territory of four provinces.
It starts in the area of Frosinone from the confluence between the Liri, which first crosses Abruzzo and Lazio, and the Gari, which rises at Cassino and is often called Liri-Garigliano.
For the ancient Italic peoples it was a sacred river. On the shores, they erected sanctuaries such as the Demetra and Teano one.

In the north-east of Campania Felix, separated from the Campania Apennines by the valley of the Medio Volturno, the massif of the Trebulani Mountains rises, also known as the Colli Caprensi.
It is one of the favourite stopping points in the long spring migration from Africa to Central Eastern Europe on the Tyrrhenian route.
The extinct volcano of Roccamonfina is the heart of the park that protects since 1993 a territory of great naturalistic value from Campania Felix up to the border with Lazio. Eleven thousand hectares of volcanic rocks and limestone, streams and lush vegetation, dotted with ancient hamlets keeping alive the imprint of their past and the heritage of their identities.
