  • Serene and moving
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/07/09
    During a vacation to Italy I visited this cemetery to see a family member's grave. The grounds are immaculately maintained, and the beautiful and quiet surroundings make it a fitting place to remember the sacrifice of so many Americans. Any American visiting Florence should consider making the short trip to see this site in person.

    This is worth the stop. If your taking the bus make sure you know where to get off.

I would recommend this for any American citezen. As you walk up to ...

    This cemetery is a beautiful dedication to over 4,000 young men who gave their lives to protect our freedoms. May they rest in peace.

  • Remember all these brave men
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/09/08
    One can only begin to realize the sacrifice of the brave men who died serving our country by walking through a place like this. It is beautifully designed and a fitting resting place for those who gave their lives for the freedom we enjoy every day. It brought tears to our eyes to walk among them but it was an honor I won't soon forget.

  • Exceptional Experience
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/18/07
    While on a Photo Shoot to Italy in May 2006, and traveling between Florence and Tuscany, we happened across this beautiful and immaculately kept Memorial to our fallen Heros. It made me Proud to be an American! The staff was most accommodating and willing to give information. Fortunately I did not have any known relatives buried here. Well worth a visit.

  • Visit a cousin's grave
    By Earl, 07/17/07
    I was finally able to visit the grave of my cousin, who was like a brother. He was a bombardier and returning from his second mission, the plane crashed into a mountain. This visit was even more meaningful because our 3 daughters, a grandson and his wife were with us.
    We found the grounds to be exceptionally well kept and the staff most ...

  • A moving experience

    My uncle was killed in WWII in Italy and was buried in the Florence American Cemetary. A few years ago I had the opportunity to visit the cemetery and his grave. It was a wonderful and moving experience. The cemetery is so well kept and is so beautiful. The caretaker was so nice. He looked up the gravesite of my uncle, cut a rose from the garden ...
