Welcome to the website of A Travel Guide to World War II Sites in Italy: Museums, Monuments, and Battlegrounds. This book provides tours of over 100 sites in central and northern Italy that commemorate battles between Axis and Allied forces, the Italian Resistance, and the sufferings of the civilian population.
This website is designed to supplement the book with photos of selected memorials described in the guide. It also provides links to other WWII websites. At this time the guide does not cover memorials in Sicily and at Salerno. Those will be described in a later edition of the book.
