Wars and memory: the Gothic Line and 59 places of remembrance in Romagna, with museums, cemeteries and trails
A section of romagnatourism.it for those who wish to learn about and visit with respect the places of 20th-century history.
Romagna has been a borderland and a passage for two thousand years. In the autumn and winter of 1944-45 the Gothic Line front halted here for months, involving soldiers from many nations and the population of the towns.
What visitors will find
The Wars and memory section of romagnatourism.it brings together 59 places to visit: the war cemeteries, the museums, the coastal bunkers, the fortresses and hills where battles were fought, the sites of massacres, the memory trails and the stories of fallen aircraft and wrecks. For each there is the position on the map, how to get there and what can be seen today.
For foreign visitors
Many guests come to Romagna to find the places where their grandfathers fought. The section is written in 11 languages, including English, Polish, German and Dutch, to guide them through the cemeteries and museums of the area.
A long history
The page links to the History of Romagna, told in 12 periods from the first human traces at Monte Poggiolo, around 800,000 years ago, to the present day, and to the profiles of historical figures.
The tone is one of respect: to inform, to remember, to invite visitors to explore with care.
