Anzio
|
Situated within the Metropolitan City of Rome Province, the seaside town of Anzio is home to 55,101 residents.
The name of the town is familiar across the world as it was an important theatre of operations in World War Two, principally for the Allied landings that took place here in 1944 involving American, British and Canadian troops. |

A museum in the town called the Anzio Beach Head Museum commemorates those events which have had a profound effect on the town's landscape. In modern times, Anzio is a busy fishing port which attracts great numbers of visitors during the summer due to its soft, sandy beaches. The former Roman Emperor Nero once had a villa in Anzio and it now makes up part of an archaeological site along with the Grotte di Nerone (Caves of Nero).
Just a short distance from Anzio is another seaside town, Nettuno, while slightly further afield are other beach resorts including Marina di Ardea, Torvaianica and Sabaudia.
