This is a nice tweet but I never heard of a "Campobello capital of knives and blades since 14th century", neither does Google, nor my encyclopedia. I am curious if there's a grain of truth or if it's just a made up anecdote.

I don't think it's made up exactly, but it looks like Heffernan may have meant to say "Campobasso" instead of "Campobello"

Campobasso is renowned for the craftsmanship of blades (including scissors and knives), a fact well documented since the 14th century.

True. It would be even better if it said ‘most dangerous’.
