Florence American Cemetery and Memorial

This cemetery opened in 1960 and here are the headstones of 4,402 military, fallen during the Italian campaign of Second World War.

It is not the biggest one in Italy: this primacy goes to Nettuno Cemetery, near Rome. On the field, which is the most important part of the graveyard, there are simple white-marbled crosses arrayed symmetrically still creating some beautiful prospective illusions. There are crosses and stars of David above the stones, to honor the Jewish soldiers.
