Welcome to the website of A Travel Guide to World War II Sites in Italy: Museums, Monuments, and Battlegrounds, a book that outlines tours of over 100 sites commemorating World War II events in Italy. This website supplements the book with:
- descriptions of WWII sites visited by the author after the book was published in 2010 (sites in Prato, Sommocolonia, Aliano, and Bari)
- updates for sites already covered in the book
- photos of selected monuments and museums.
Many of these memorials honor the Allied forces who battled Axis armies in Italy for almost two years. Other monuments focus on the sufferings of civilians and/or the actions of the Italian Resistance. To see the complete table of contents, click on "Look inside" in book's Amazon website.
This guidebook recently was one of twelve recommended by the website GoItaly.com, which provides information about many aspects of travel to and within Italy. To see that endorsement, click here. Other reviews of the book appear at these links:
