About
The Sicily‑Rome American Cemetery & Memorial is a 77‑acre World War II burial site in Nettuno, Italy, honoring 7,845 U.S. service members who fell during the Allied campaign in Sicily. Arranged in gentle arcs against lush green lawns, the cemetery features a bronze relief map, frescoes, and a marble chapel that enshrines the names of missing soldiers. A modern visitor center opened in 2014 offers interactive exhibits that bring the history of the Anzio landings to life. Quiet and reflective, the cemetery provides a powerful reminder of sacrifice and international cooperation.
