The perfect dialogue between culture and taste unfolds through the food and wine stages of Molise and Tuscany.
The dancing Devils and the “Misteri”, traditional masks of Campobasso, meet Molise culinary treasures: truffles, caciocavallo cheese and bunches of Tintilia grapes.
Obverse: In the background, decorations inspired by the wrought iron craftsmanship typical of Molise on which two Devils stand out, one with a more usual shape and one in the guise of a girl who tries to tempt Saint Anthony Abbot by waving a fan, masks protagonists of the parade of the "Mysteries" which takes place on the day of Corpus Domini in Campobasso, which have become symbols of the capital city of Molise. In the foreground, black and white truffles on oak leaves and, on the left, a caciocavallo cheese and bunches of Tintilia grapes. Above, the inscription “MOLISE”; in exergue, “REPUBBLICA ITALIANA” and the name of the designer “M. BONIFACIO”. Coin with coloured elements.
Reverse: On the right, in the foreground, statue of the Samnite Warrior created by Giuseppe Guastalla and located in Piazza Vittorio Veneto in Pietrabbondante. In the background, representation of the five main "sheep tracks" present in the Molise region, highlighted on a decorative composition inspired by an artisanal filigree goldsmith's artefact characteristic of upper Molise, in which is set the shape of the Region, and, in the star’s corner a texture with the inscription "MOLISE". Below, the value “5 EURO” and, arch-shaped, the inscription “SAPORI D'ITALIA”; on the left, “R”, identifying the Mint of Rome; top left, “2024”, year of the coin’s issue.
