The weather was dismal on the November 2019 day i visited but it was well worth the hour or so i spent wandering the immaculately kept cemetery. As always at such places simply reading the names on the graves and looking at the ages of those who fought in the Italian campaign leaves you very appreciative of their sacrifice. The epitaphs are very moving. The Italian campaign is often overlooked in the UK but it was the costliest WW2 endeavour for UK and Commonwealth forces in terms of casualties as they slowly pushed their way north.

This is the second time I've been here to see the artistic Holiday Lights that adorn nearly every street in the historic center. Certain areas have themes, the park also has a theme. This year it was a zoo with dozens of huge animals. The city is very walkable, and there are a lot of interesting shops in town to check out as well.

My travel policy: whenever I am walking by and find a church open -- I go in. One never knows when it will be open again. On a Sunday I was fortunate enough to find the door open, so I went in. There was a volunteer guide, and she gave me an insider's view of the architecture and explained the history. As other reviewer's wrote, this was originally a palace for the Longobardi ruler -- there is a wonderful book for sale that shows the floor plans and photos which help to explain the transformation of an ancient 8th C. palace into the present day church. It is a fascinating story. My review can only add on to others' reviews. Worth a visit.
