Love the carvings

The carvings are indeed amazing. Also the writings are interesting. Here I've managed somehow to translate what's written there. If you hit the [cc] button, you'll see. Cheers!

My Grandfather Landed on this Beach in WWII as a member of The U.S./Canada First Special Service Force (The Black Devil's). He was attached to General Mark Clarke's 5th American Army. He also participated in The Battle of Monte La Difensa,The Gustav Line,The Winter Line The Mussolini Canal & The Liberation of Rome.

Wow! Looks like your grandfather was a hero! Thanks for sharing with us a part of this town's history.

Amazing place Dan, I want to go there! 🙂

[@RoadForksOffbeat]

You should! The area definitely worth visiting. They also have an interesting museum there called the Anzio Beachhead Museum (Museum dello sbarco di Anzio), that has a lot of interesting WW2 stuff. So you may want to visit this one as well 😉 Cheers!

Pizza 🍕 looked good and no pineapple 😊

[@RoadForksOffbeat]

Yeah, the pizza was looking good and was tasty as well. Regarding the pineapple on it, will be considered an offence there, if you will ask for :)
