The Apennine landscape is also a landscape of memory. Between 1944 and 1945 these mountains were involved in the events connected with the Gothic Line.

Travel with awareness

A historical itinerary lets you see woods, ridges and villages differently, connecting each place with the events that passed through it.

Museums, monuments and places of remembrance

Across the Apennines there are collections, memorials and routes dedicated to the Second World War. Check opening times and accessibility before visiting.

Landscape and memory

Combining a historical visit with a walk helps reveal how strongly geography shaped events and the lives of local communities.

Recommended approach: visit these places respectfully and use local and institutional sources to explore individual historical events in greater depth.
