Every American should visit this cemetery when in the area or even make a special trip to see it! The American Battlefield Commission does a wonderful job of maintaining this cemetery. There’s a 7 minute video everyone should see.

We were able to drive up with a family member but so much mountains greenery speechless beautiful. Then turn around and the Sanctuary a beautiful building built in the mountain Not being able to envision how they built this beautiful building so many years ago! When you enter it’s just very peaceful and feel spiritual; it gave me chills. I felt more spirituality here than feeling anything at the Vatican. At the end of San Benedetto there’s a quaint gift shop.

Castel Gandolfo was declared property of the Holy See in the 13th century, but the castle was not built until the 17th century when other villas and cottages were being built in this area. It was renovated by Pope Pius XI in 1929 and has been used as the pope’s summer residence since them. During WWII 40 babies were born in the bedroom here, to mothers trying to escape the Nazis. Pope John Paul recovered from his injuries here when he was shot in 1980. The current Pope Francis declared that it should be open to the public since he preferred to stay in Rome and work. As we entered the gates of the Apostolic Palace, we passed the small fleet of Mercedes cars used by the Pope and the “Popemobile” with the bulletproof shell. Continuing, we made our way through display rooms showing the costumes of the Swiss Guards, the portable throne used to carry the pope in processions, and other items used by the pope. Next came galleries with portraits of all the popes, followed by a lovely cream, yellow, and gold waiting room where guests who had an audience with the pope were taken first. From there, we went through a series of waiting rooms (ante-rooms). A group of people might be granted an audience, but ultimately only one would actually see the pope. The others in the group would go as far as their “status/permission” allowed them and would wait in their assigned ante-room. The last ante-room was normally reserved for the wife of the man who had the audience. Finally came the magnificent throne room where the pope received the person granted an audience. Following that, all rooms were private. The general public was not allowed—only his private secretaries. A series of offices came next—some with elaborate desks and bookshelves and others with much simpler furniture. Then the pope’s bedroom, which was a bright and airy corner room with creamy yellow walls and mint-green drapes on four large windows. The furniture—a large bed, wardrobe, desk, and table with chairs—was made of beautifully carved wood and looked comfortable and lived-in. The bedroom opened onto a lovely little chapel with an altar and the pope’s own chair and kneeler. Following the chapel was a large gallery which led us back to the square outside. We really enjoyed being able to see this historic place. We have been to Italy on many previous occasions, but Castel Gandolfo was never open to the public before—and could be closed again, at the discretion of the pope. Don’t pass up the opportunity to see it if you can!

Got the 1hr train from Rome termini station to Anzio to see my grandads final resting place. The Anzio War Cemetery is 15mins walk from Anzio rail station.If you want the Beachead Cemetary,you need to get off at Villa Claudia rail station. You cannot really walk from the beachead cemetery to the Anzio cemetery as the pathway runs out and it's a busy road to walk 2km on. The Anzio war cemetery is mainly British and commonwealth soldiers killed at the early stages of the conflict.I believe it was planned before the battle as one of the first cemeteries. If you are looking for relatives, you firstly need to go to the small structure at the front of the cemetery that looks like a guard box.In here you will find a book with the names listed and most importantly where they are located within the cemetery. It's an emotional place to visit.Beautifully kept.Many thanks to the CWGC and locals who maintain it. In here you can ponder painfully on the young ages of these brave men.Also,so many graves have the same date of death.This gives you a hint to the ferocity of the battles. My grandad was killed early in the Anzio conflict. January 44. He was from Lincolnshire and joined the Sherwood foresters(2nd battalion). During the fight for Campoleone and "The Factory", the 2nd battalion(roughly 700 men) were decimated by German forces on the attack during 29th -31st January 1944. All the officers were killed and only 150 men survived. Peaceful,Poignant, painful,but go Remember them.
