Today's Itinerary and Activities
Day 10: May 15
Today we visited the Monte della Difesa, Monte Lungo, and San Pietro sites in the battles for Cassino. We also visited the Abbey of Monte Cassino, and the nearby Polish Cemetery. Read Rachel's blog post to learn more about what it is like on the ground!
We considered today's seminar questions: What does the San Peitro site and museum convey to you? How should we remember the decision to bomb of the abbey and town at Monte Cassino? and The battles for Cassino stand as the most well-known episode of the Italian campaign. What do you think makes them important?
