SICILY-ROME CEMETERY lies at the north edge of the town of Nettuno,
Italy, which is immediately east of Anzio, 38 miles south of Rome.
The cemetery site covers 77 acres, rising in a gentle slope from a broad pool with an
island and cenotaph flanked by groups of Italian cypress trees. Beyond the pool is an
immense field of headstones of 7,862 of our military Dead arranged in gentle arcs which
sweep across the broad green lawns beneath rows of Roman pines. The majority of these men
died in the operations preceding the liberation of Rome.
At the head of the wide central mall stands the memorial, a building rich in works of
art and architecture expressing America's remembrance of the Honored Dead. It consists of
a chapel to the south, a peristyle and a museum room to the north. On the white marble
walls of the chapel are engraved the names of 3,096 of the Missing, whose remains were
never recovered or identified. The museum room contains a bronze relief map and four
fresco maps depicting the military operations in Sicily and Italy. At each end of the
memorial are ornamental Italian gardens.
