The museum contains artifacts from the area landings as well as items donated by individual veterans and veteran groups. There were various uniforms and weapons from American, English, Italian and German units as well as maps and news clippings of the time. It was interesting to see photos of the damage to the center of Anzio as we become more familiar with this area ourselves.
Tuesday was also the local festival day for Anzio in honor of St. Anthony of Padua, which meant the post office and municipal offices were closed. There were plans that night for a boat flotilla in the harbor and fireworks but we decided not to attempt the bus ride into town as we could not find out the specific time schedule for these events.
