history
After Italy entered the war in June 1940, the fascist regime established an internment camp ( campo di concentramento ) for women in Vinchiaturo . It was located in a private house in the center of the village, on via Libertà . Foreign women made up the largest group, as did foreign Jews and Yugoslav women from areas occupied or annexed by Italy. The house did not have a bathroom, the rooms could not be heated and were therefore cold. The forced cohabitation of very different women, the isolation and the boredom resulted in dejection and depression ; two suicide attempts have been proven.
traffic
Strada Statale 17 dell'Appennino Abruzzese e Appulo Sannitica from Antrodoco to Foggia and Strada Statale 87 Sannitica from Benevento to Termoli run through the municipality . The Vinchiaturo train station is on the Benevento – Campobasso line or on the Isernia to Campobasso line.
