Rome: open city
In September 1943, the Italian capital was occupied by Nazi troops: this occupation shattered forever the dream of keeping Rome out of the war.
The months of occupation were harsh months of brutal repression, famine and cold and despite attempts at resistance, Rome was only liberated with the arrival of the Allies' troops in June 1944.
