Lavinio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lavinio is a small beach side tourist town in Lazio, Italy, about 50 km from Rome. It is located on the site of the ancient settlement of Lavinium, and sports a wide sandy beach. It is not far from the regional park of Tor Caldara, as well as from the small cities of Anzio and Nettuno.
During the World War II, many allied soldiers fought and died on the beach and in the surrounding countryside of this town. As perennial memory, a marble stele, elevated and in front of the sea, remembers this sacrifice.
