Baselice is a village located in the upper part of the Fortore Valley. Archaeological findings show that the area was inhabited before Roman times.
The first bibliographic mention dates are from the year one thousand, when it was mentioned in the catalogue of the Norman barons.
It was the territory of Roberto Drago and Raimundo Di Molise. Later it was in the hands of the Mastrali brothers and then in 1454 of Alfonso of Aragon, who then assigned it to the Guevara family. Caracciolo, Carafa and Rinuccini, were in possession of it until the abolition of the feudal system in 1806.
Initially, the town of Baselice was united within the province of Campobasso and then integrated under the province of Benevento.
Today, the population of Baselice is around 2,600 and the local production consists mainly of cereals, wine, oil and fruit. Well known among the wines produced is Moscato.
