Rome44.com was founded by WW2 history buffs with the aim of bringing the story of the WW2 Battle for Rome to a wider public. The Second World War in Italy is sometimes described as the forgotten campaign, overshadowed by the D-Day Landings in Normandy. We believe it is a fascinating chapter of the war and a fascinating chapter in the history of the eternal city. The WW2 Battle for Rome began on the 17th of January 1944 with the US Fifth Army's attack on the Gustav Line at Monte Cassino  and ended on the 4th of June 1944 with the Fifth Army's triumphal entry into Rome.

This walking tour was fantastic. Guide knew so much relevant and interesting information. Right pace went closer to 3 hours rather than 2 1/2 which was great.!

Fascinating! Our guide James was a wealth of knowledge. We’ve been to Rome many times. James helped us discover places we’ve never seen and learn the rich history of WW2 and its impact on this city and its people.
