WORLD WAR
From Rome
or Naples: (8 hours - 12 hours tour)
tour of Anzio,
Montecassino, and U.S. Overseas Military Cemetery at Nettuno
Anzio
and Nettuno are witnesses of one of the most important battles of 2nd
World War in the year 1944. During that battle many American soldiers
died and their bodies are now in the U.S. Overseas Military Cemetery at
Nettuno, Italy. There, you can also visit a beautiful stone where the
names of thousands of World War II casualties were engraved.
Anzio
and Nettuno also offer the possibility to visit the surrounding areas
such as the wonderful middle age abbey of Montecassino, where many documents
and ancient books are exposed in a museum; the National Park of Circeo,
where a wonderful sea hugs a promontory rich in of history, legend and
carachterized by a particular and suggestive natural environment. The
mountain of Circeo was one of the stages of Ulysses trip through the Mediterranean
sea.
The
country of Southern Lazio is suggestive and it deserves to be visited;
it is carachterized by small medieval towns perched on hills and wide
cultivated fields.
