Samnium (Italian: Sannio) is a Latin exonym for a region of Southern Italy anciently inhabited by the Samnites. Their own endonyms were Safinim for the country (attested in one inscription and one coin legend) and Safineis for the people. The language of these endonyms and of the population was the Oscan language.Read more
However, not all the Samnites spoke Oscan, and not all the Oscan-speakers lived in Samnium.
Ancient geographers were unable to relay a precise definition of Samnium's borders. Moreover, the areas it included vary depending on the time period considered. The main configurations are the borders it had during the floruit of the Oscan speakers, from about 600 BC to about 290 BC, when it was finally absorbed by the Roman Republic.
The original territory of Samnium should not be confused with the later territory of the same name. Rome's first Emperor, Augustus, divided Italy into 11 regions. Although these entities only served administrative purposes, and were identified with the sole numeral, by scholarly convention the Regio IV has been dubbed "Samnium". Ancient Samnium had actually been divided into three of the Augustan regions.

The purists' pizzeria, serving only margherita and marinara from the same Forcella corner since 1870: wood-fired, folded 'a portafoglio', a few euros each. Take a number and wait; the queue moves faster than it looks.

cafe
Naples' belle-époque temple of coffee since 1860, facing Piazza del Plebiscito: birthplace of the 'caffè sospeso' tradition of paying forward a stranger's espresso. Sfogliatella and a scalding tazzulella at the marble counter is the canonical order.
