Roseto Valfortore

⭐ 8

Stone and truffle village in the upper Fortore valley

The name comes from the wild roses of the territory. The village appears in 752 under the name “Rosito” and reached its peak in 1497 under the lord Bartolomeo III Di Capua. From 1882, many inhabitants left for the United States, then Canada: from more than 5,000 inhabitants before the war, the municipality now has fewer than 1,000. Emigrants even founded a town of the same name in Pennsylvania. On the table: black truffle, acacia honey, and truffle honey. To taste for yourself: the Sagra del Tartufo takes place in early August.

À PROPOS DE Roseto Valfortore

Roseto Valfortore is situated at an altitude of 658 m, overlooking the upper Fortore valley in the Monti Dauni. Its medieval streets branch out from Piazza Vecchia, and the local stone, crafted by the *scalpellini* (stone carvers), adorns everything, even the balustrade of the Chiesa Madre. Around the village, Bosco Vetruscelli and Monte Saraceno (1,145 m) are perfect for a stroll. Roseto is one of the “Borghi più belli d’Italia” (Most Beautiful Villages of Italy).

The name comes from the wild roses of the territory. The village appears in 752 under the name “Rosito” and reached its peak in 1497 under the lord Bartolomeo III Di Capua. From 1882, many inhabitants left for the United States, then Canada: from more than 5,000 inhabitants before the war, the municipality now has fewer than 1,000.
