Romanesque bridge

The Toro bridge, one of the most characteristic if not the most characteristic masonry bridge in Molise, was designed and built in the Romanesque style in 1813 by the bricklayer, architect and handyman engineer Francesco Fagnani from Pescopennataro who lived in Oratino.

Perfectly intact and functional, it is another jewel of the town. It particularly characterises the Piana dei Mulini, so called because of the two water mills that used to operate nearby on the river bank, and the entire Fondovalle del Tappino. The bridge is a picnic destination thanks to the grove of majestic century-old poplars and the beautiful surrounding plain.
