About this experience

Just 1 hour drive from Rome, you will be escorted on a first class Mercedes van over to an amazing region to explore and see what the WWII meant for many of our Veteran brothers who fought for us and mainly for Italy. We will explore the largest WWII museum in the World and on to visit an amazing medieval town (Sermoneta) built on a hill, from where the Germans used to shoot the allies approaching Rome from Anzio with long distance canons. We will then opt for a nice local lunch and will eventually visit the American War Cemetery in Anzio itself. A 9 hour immersion in our recent past. Come and enjoy your day with us.
