Anzio is a city situated on the coast of the Lazio region of Italy, about 57 km (35 mi) south of Rome.

The city bears great historical significance as the site of a crucial Allied landing during World War II. The Commonwealth Anzio War Cemetery and Beach Head War Cemetery are located here.

The resulting combat is commonly called the Battle of Anzio. ...
