Works
His scholarly works include "The Memorable Stories, Civil and Ecclesiastical of the City and Diocese of Larino" (published in Rome, 1744), "Notes of the accommodation between the Papacy and the Royal Court of Naples" (published in Rome, 1743), and "Life of Pope Benedetto XIII".
His major work, however, is the history of the community he came to love. He wrote of Larino’s earliest days prior to its conquest by Rome, the onslaught of the barbarians, the Saracens, and the Normans. Tria’s scholarly writings have become an invaluable resource to the life of Molise, not only in the dim past, but during the prelate’s lifetime. Since the essential physical structure of the Cathedral in Larino (1312) is unaltered, his description on the monumental entrance way of this minor basilica can be followed by the present day observer.

Every quality and pith
Surcharged and sultry with a power
That works its will on age and hour.”
