2nd World war: Montecassino, 1944
On 15 February 1944, an area rich of art and history, one of the most important place for the whole Civilization was reduced to ruins by a massive Allied air raid.
The Benedictine Abbey of Montecassino, in its thousand-year history, had suffered three other distructions. Those happened because of Longobards (in 577), the Saracens (in 883) and an earthquake in 1349.
