Monuments Men tour
Join us as we trace the path of masterpieces, work of arts, archives rescued by the Monuments Men belonging to the abbey of Montecassino and various museums in Naples.
In 1943 to protect Italian art from both bombings and Nazi greed, the Allies created a special unit of unlikely soldiers -- museum directors, artists, teachers and art historians whose mission, was to "minimize damage” to Europe's single greatest concentration of art, architecture and history from the ravages of war.
After the Allied landing in Salerno, 9th September 1943, there was concern about the fate of the cultural heritage involved in the conflict. Some safe sites had already been identified, including the Abbey of Montecassino, where the works of art could be safely stored.

ROME IS FREE 4th June 1944!
77th Anniversary of the liberation of Rome.
Here is a video for you to remember and honor those who sacrificed their lives in the name of freedom.
Can you imagine the happiness, the emotions of the Romans liberated after over 9 months of oppression and terror. I think only who lived those moments can fully understand what it meant. Our duty is to remember and to pass on the history to the next generations.
