The area known as Piana di Venafro is situated between the Mainarde and Matese massifs in the extreme western Region of Molise (Southern Italy). This valley was formerly designated as Campania felix, a moniker derived from the global esteem in which its crops were held. Nowadays, the valley is traversed by numerous high-volume thoroughfares, rendering it challenging to maintain the designation of felix.
