He came back to a life of work, marriage and parenthood and lived with as little fuss as possible and did what they all do — he passed away quietly and left a million memories. Our battalion was still under arms; the sound of the cocking of weapons greeted the officer's threat, and a lone voice asked "And who's going to escort the darkies? On 11 February , the acting commander of 4th Indian Division, Brigadier Dimoline, requested a bombing raid. From fire-fights in the mountains to tank attacks in the valley; from river crossings to street fighting, the four battles of Cassino encompass a series of individual operations unique in the history of the Second World War.

With its heavily fortified mountain defences, difficult river crossings, and valley head flooded by the Germans, Cassino formed a linchpin of the Gustav Line, the most formidable line of the defensive positions making up the Winter Line. Tipografia Italo-orientale. The Battles for Monte Cassino Then and Now Writer Monte Cassino - a major look-out post on the German defensive line - is under attack. They all count. More Details While this remains unconfirmed, it is clear that once the monastery was destroyed it was occupied by the Germans and proved better cover for their emplacements and troops than an intact structure would have offered. The author examines in detail this struggle to open up the road to Rome. World War II. The route to Rome from the east using Route 5 was thus excluded as a viable option leaving the routes from Naples to Rome, highways 6 and 7, as the only possibilities; Highway 7 the old Roman Appian Way followed along the west coast but south of Rome ran into the Pontine Marshes , which the Germans had flooded. Drawing upon archive photographs and first hand reminiscences, the author sets the scene for the conflict, examines the forces ranged against each other and describes each of the four major battles. I have a connection to this book. II Corps had made little progress, but their Fifth Army colleagues, the French Expeditionary Corps, had achieved their objectives and were fanning out in the Aurunci Mountains toward the Eighth Army to their right, rolling up the German positions between the two armies. A strategic town on the road to Rome, the fighting lasted four months and cost the lives of more than 14, men from eight nations. They had to find the materials necessary for crates and boxes, find carpenters among their troops, recruit local labourers to be paid with rations of food plus twenty cigarettes a day and then manage the "massive job of evacuation centered on the library and archive", [80] a treasure "literally without price". Running across the Allied line was the fast flowing Rapido River , which rose in the central Apennine Mountains , flowed through Cassino joining to the Gari River , which was erroneously identified as the Rapido [9] and across the entrance to the Liri valley. Matters were not helped by the loss of Kippenberger, wounded by an anti- personnel mine and losing both his feet. The final change to the U. The nightmare is compounded by the suffering of the Allies to get that far in the first place. Truscott later wrote in his memoirs that Clark "was fearful that the British were laying devious plans to be first into Rome", [70] a sentiment somewhat reinforced in Clark's own writings. Freyberg's plan was a continuation of the first battle: an attack from the north along the mountain ridges and an attack from the southeast along the railway line and to capture the railway station across the Rapido less than 1 mile 1.

Submitted on 2016, 27th February; revised on 2016, 27th June; accepted on 2016, 7th July Editor: Gentile Francesco Ficetola Abstract. The Circeo National Park lies in a territory that was deeply shaped by human activity, and represents one of the few remaining patches of plain wetland habitat in Central Italy. In this study distribution and few demographic information of the amphibians in the Park were provided. Seven species and 25 bibliographic and 84 original breeding sites were recorded, and population size estimations were carried out for a population of these three species: Pelophylax sinkl esculentus, Bufo balearicus and Rana dalmatina. For the studied populations of pool frog and green toad the oper- ational sex ratio and the demographic effective population size was also estimated. For Rana dalmatina, which is strictly associated to forest environment, a positive and significant correlation between the number of egg clutches and maxi- mum depth of the swamps was found. The State plain forest is the most important habitat for amphibians’ conservation in the park. The occurrence of dangerous alien species was investigated and they are evaluated as the major threat for amphibians in the park, especially the crayfish Procambarus clarkii in the State plain forest.

At one end of the spectrum is the view that he was an unscrupulous “chameleon” who distorted the reality of the Allies’ Liberation of Italy to suit his own interests.2 At the other is the claim that he was a true artist whose representations of the horrors of war absorb historical details into what is a consummately literary work.3 In other words, La pelle has been read either as a vulgar deformation or a poetic transcendence of the historical moment it purports to represent.4 And yet Malaparte’s narrative of the myriad social transformations following the Armistice actually combines concrete historical events (the Allies’ arrival in Naples and in Rome, the eruption of Vesuvius on March 22, 1944, and the battle of 1 Malaparte, born Kurt Erich Suckert, joined the Partito Nazionale Fascista in September 1922 and resigned in January, 1931 just before moving to France. Upon his return to Italy in October 1931, he was expelled from the party (despite having already left it) and sentenced to political exile on Lipari for five years of which he served less than two (Martellini Opere scelte xcii-xciv).

PLANS FOR THE THIRD PHASE See Map No. 8 VJENERAL Clark anticipated on 16 December the early conclusion of Phase II and issued Operations Instruction No. 12. {See Annex No. 2F.) At that time San Pietro was still under attack, but there were indications that the enemy was preparing to withdraw to new positions. San Vittore might be held in some strength, but by clearing the slopes of Sammucro II Corps would cause that village to be untenable. The next barriers to the I4ri Valle}^ were Cedro Hill and Mount Porchia south of Highway 6; Cicerelli Hill, Mount I^a Chiaia, and the hills to the northeast on the north side of the highway; and the mountains centering around Mount Majo (Hill 1259). Once through the Porchia-I^a Chiaia defenses, the chief obstacle south of the highway was Mount Trocchio; north of the highway was the town of Cervaro, ringed by low hills and dominated on the north by mountains. II Corps was again to make the main effort in the center along the axis of Highway 6. The first objectives were Mounts Porchia and Trocchio. It was to be prepared to assist VI Corps in the capture of the high ground north­ west of Cassino, and was to secure a bridgehead over the Rapido River. After the bridgehead was secured, II Corps was to use the maximum amount of armor to drive northwest through the Iviri Valley to the Melfa River. The 1st Armored Division was attached to II Corps for that purpose.

  • “Marocchinate” Denunciano La Francia. Andrea Cionci
    Le vittime delle “marocchinate” denunciano la Francia. Andrea Cionci Furono 300.000 gli stupri di donne, uomini e bambini italiani compiuti dal 1943 al ‘44 dalle truppe coloniali del Corp Expeditionnaire Français. Quella pagina si storia di riapre. Reparto di goumiers marocchini accampati Il nostro giornale lo aveva annunciato il 6 marzo scorso e l’Associazione Vittime delle Marocchinate presieduta da Emiliano Ciotti ha depositato, tramite lo studio legale dell’Avv. Luciano Randazzo, formale denuncia contro la Francia per le atrocità compiute dalle truppe coloniali francesi ai danni dei civili italiani durante l’ultima guerra. L’atto è stato presentato presso la Procure di Frosinone e Latina, presso la Procura Militare di Roma, il Comando Generale dei Carabinieri e l’Ambasciata di Francia. Furono 300.000 gli stupri di donne, uomini e bambini italiani compiuti dal 1943 al ‘44 dalle truppe coloniali del Cef (Corp Expeditionnaire Français) costituito per il 60% da marocchini, algerini e senegalesi e per il restante da francesi europei, per un totale di 111.380 uomini. A tali violenze seguirono spesso torture inimmaginabili e brutali omicidi, sia delle vittime, sia di tutti coloro che tentavano di opporvisi. Furono poi moltissimi i casi di malattie e infezioni veneree tanto da costituire una vera e propria emergenza sanitaria, come risulta dall’interpellanza parlamentare della deputata comunista Maria Maddalena Rossi dell’aprile 1952. La prime violenze si verificarono dopo lo sbarco in Sicilia, dove i magrebini del 4° tabor stuprarono donne e bambini presso Capizzi. Dopo lo sfondamento della Linea Gustav, in Ciociaria si toccò il culmine dell’aberrazione, ma le violenze proseguirono fino in Toscana.

  • The New Garden: Histories of the Garden of Ninfa
    The New Garden or Histories of the Garden of Ninfa Healy Knight 4/22/20 Prologue On the bank of a small lake in the Pontine Marshes in the foothills of the Monti Lepini, the ruined walls of a medieval church stand apart like a set of ribs buried in the dirt. The church no longer has its vaulted ceiling or delicate stained-glass windows or rows of wooden pews; it is now an open air, nearly borderless temple occupied by a display of cypress trees, moss, lichen, roses and ivy. All that remain are these two walls – the back of the church, concave and settled in a dense bed of grass, and the front of the church, now doorless with a rope strung through it to keep visitors from crossing its threshold. This is the Church of the Santa Maria Maggiore, and it stands in the Caetani family’s Garden of Ninfa. This is a story of histories – ecological, fictional, chronological, mythological – that a single place holds in its ecologies, its ruins and in the residue of memory. This is the story of networks of water, roses, stones and roots. Some elements are imagined, others are indisputable, all of it is, I’ve decided, truthful. This is the story of a garden. _________________________ One very early May morning in 1964, Leila Caetani-Howard decided it was time to stop pretending to sleep and go for a morning swim. It was the last few hours before the garden would reopen to visitors after months of a restful, quiet off-season.

The Power of Images in the Age of Mussolini Abstract The year 1937 marked the bimillenary of the birth of Augustus. With characteristic pomp and vigor, Benito Mussolini undertook numerous initiatives keyed to the occasion, including the opening of the Mostra Augustea della Romanità , the restoration of the Ara Pacis , and the reconstruction of Piazza Augusto Imperatore. New excavation campaigns were inaugurated at Augustan sites throughout the peninsula, while the state issued a series of commemorative stamps and medallions focused on ancient Rome. In the same year, Mussolini inaugurated an impressive square named Forum Imperii, situated within the Foro Mussolini - known today as the Foro Italico, in celebration of the first anniversary of his Ethiopian conquest. The Forum Imperii's decorative program included large-scale black and white figural mosaics flanked by rows of marble blocks; each of these featured inscriptions boasting about key events in the regime's history. This work examines the iconography of the Forum Imperii's mosaic decorative program and situates these visual statements into a broader discourse that encompasses the panorama of images that circulated in abundance throughout Italy and its colonies.
