Lake Bolsena, British Military Cemetery, Italy
On 3 September 1943 the Allies invaded the Italian mainland and five days later Italy switched sides and joined the Allies. The Allies had a number of problems mainly due to the terrain and eventually the advance stopped at the Gustav Line which was hinged on Monte Cassino. The line was breached in May 1944 and as the Germans fell back, Rome was taken by the Allies on 3 June 1944.
The Germans made their first stand after being driven north of Rome at Bolsena and to the east of Lake Bolsena, there was a tank battle in June 1944 between the 6th South African Armoured Division and the Hermann Goering Panzer Division.
The site for the cemetery was chosen in November 1944, and graves were brought in from the battlefields between Bolsena and Orvieto. Almost one-third of those buried at Bolsena were South Africans. In 1947, 42 graves were brought into the cemetery (into Plot 4 Rows G and H) from the Island of Elba. The cemetery is on the actual site of the first camp occupied by General Alexander's advanced headquarters after the liberation of Rome and it was here that King George VI visited General Alexander at the end of July 1944.
Bolsena War Cemetery contains 597 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, 40 of them unidentified.
The cemetery was designed by Louis de Soissons.
Bolsena War Cemetery is situated on the eastern side of Lake Bolsena just west of the SS2, between Rome (104 kilometres) and Siena (115 kilometres). Take the Orte exit from the autostrada A1. Go 30 km west towards Viterbo then turn right on to the SS2.
The two nearest towns are Montefiascone, 8 kilometres to the south, and Bolsena on the shores of the lake, 7 kilometres to the north. The cemetery entrance can be clearly seen from the main road.
Cemetery address: SS2 Cassia (Nord) K106 - 1027 Montefiascone (VT) Lazio.
GPS Co-ordinates: Latitude: 42.586337, Longitude: 12.001811.
The cemetery is permanently open and may be visited anytime.
Please note that as there are steep steps and a long steep path within the cemetery, wheelchair access is impossible.

Monti, the Heart of Rome - Italy 4K Travel Channel
In the ancient times, Monti was the most densely populated district of Rome. Where you find the majestic Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore today, was once the slaves and prostitutes cemetery. Since the 19th century, the Via Cavour cuts the district from Termini Station to the Roman Forum. Aside from the shopping and thoroughfare, the old Monti with small traders, craftsman, restaurants and bars still exists.
We liked best the Via Urbana. Right next to our hotel, the Hotel I Dormienti, there were a number of stores. On closer inspection, we see that the goods sold were produced in the back of the building. Besides well-established companies, young people with innovative ideas also establish themselves here.
A successful example is Grezzo Raw Chocolate (grezzo italia.it). Since April 2014, it is the first raw bio vegan gluten-free chocolate shop in Europe. The friendly lady in the shop explained us the products.
A few doors away we find the Aromaticus is specialized in natural flavors, municipal cultivation of agricultural products, sprouts, edible flowers, salts and oils.
On the other side of the road is a fruit and greengrocer's. You find almost everything which you can also buy in a covered market on the narrowest room.
Next to the restaurant La Vacca m'briaca (restaurant drunken cow), which we'll visit later, we find a carpentry business. Every evening the carpenter and his friends discuss the day and the general situation. We are allowed to take a look at the craft business.
Next to a bicycle shop an artist has covered the window with his street art .
Everywhere we recognize the beautiful roof terraces. Monti is not a poor district. The prices of condos are exorbitantly high. For 80 m² of living space, the price is approx € 500.000.-. Thus many high earners live in Monti, or foreigners invest in an object. Who does not find any payable flat, is forced to make way into the marginal areas of Rome.

Monti war der in der Antike am dichtesten besiedelte Stadtteil Roms. Wo sich heute majestätisch die Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore erhebt war einst der Sklaven- und Hurenfriedhof. Seit dem 19. Jahrhundert durchtrennt die Via Cavour das Viertel vom Bahnhof Termini bis zum Forum Romanum. Doch abseits dieser Einkauf- und Durchfahrtsstraße existiert noch das alte Monti, der kleinen Gewerbetreibenden, der Handwerker, der Restaurants und Bars.
Uns hat am besten die Via Urbana gefallen. Direkt neben unserem Hotel, dem Hotel I Dormienti gab es eine Reihe von Geschäften, bei denen sich bei näherem Hinsehen zeigte, dass im hinteren Teil des Gebäudes die Waren produziert wurden, die vorne verkauft wurden. Es sind nicht nur alteingesessene Betriebe, auch junge Leute mit innovativen Ideen siedeln sich hier an.
Ein gelungenes Beispiel hierfür ist Grezzo Raw Chocolate. Seit April 2014 wird hier die erste vegane Gluten-freie Schokolade in Europa vertrieben. Die freundliche Betreiberin erläutert uns ihre Produkte.
Nur wenige Eingänge weiter finden wir das Aromaticus ist spezialisiert auf natürliche Aromastoffe, städtischen Anbau von Agrarprodukten, Sprossen, essbare Blumen, Salze und Öle.
Auf der anderen Straßenseite ist ein Obst- und Gemüseladen angesiedelt. Auf engstem Raum findet man fast alles, was auch in einer Markthalle zu finden ist.
Neben dem Restaurant La Vacca m'briaca (Restaurant zur betrunkenen Kuh), das wir uns noch genauer ansehen werden finden wir einen Schreinerbetrieb. Allabendlich diskutieren der Schreiner und seine Freunde den Tag und die allgemeine Lage. Wir dürfen auch einen Blick in den Betrieb werfen.
Neben einem Fahrradgeschäft hat ein Künstler mit seiner Street Art die Fenster beklebt.
Überall fallen uns die schönen Dachterassen auf. Den Monti ist kein armer Stadtteil. Die Preise für Eigentumswohnungen sind exorbitant hoch. Für 80 m² Wohnfläche sind ca. € 500.000.- zu bezahlen. So wohnen in Monti viele Gutverdiener, aber auch Ausländer investieren in ein Objekt. Wer keine bezahlbare Wohnung findet ist gezwungen in die Randbereiche Roms auszuweichen.
