During the last few years Gotica Toscana Onlus (not for profit Association) has managed relevant commemorative events in Italy as well as has participated in the most important European events like Tanks in Town in Mons (2008-2009), Normandy and Bastogne celebrations (2009). We had the chance to talk to many of you during the above mentioned European events and now we would like to invite you in Italy! Many of you have never seen Italy before or have come to Italy for holidays only. Anyway, most of you has never joined a WW2 commemorative event in Italy. It’s time to remedy!!!
This year our commemoration of the days of Liberation, which in Italy is officially celebrated on April the 25th, will take place in Verona and Mantova with an unusual concomitance: Easter on April the 24th !!! What a nice opportunity to combine together the celebration of these two events in two marvellous cities which can’t stand the moment to host The Column of Liberation under their wonderful monuments, like the Roman Arena Amphitheatre of Verona just to cite one!

The attrition continued; Italy sank to such a low priority on the list of theaters that by the winter of 1944-45 the men there began to feel that they were on a "forgotten front." from THE ORDNANCE DEPARTMENT: ON BEACHHEAD AND BATTLEFRONT by Lida Mayo
Sounds like our "boy" will have many people waiting to greet him!!!!
