Anzio vacations:
tourist information for Anzio - how to get there from Rome and what
to see.
About 40km south of
Rome, and easily seen on a day-trip, Anzio is
the first town of any note, centre of a lengthy spread of settlement
that focuses on a lively central square and a busy fishing industry.
Much of the town was damaged during a difficult Allied landing here
on January 22, 1944, to which two military cemeteries (one British,
another, at nearby Nettuno, American) bear testimony. Anzio is also a possible route on to the island of Ponza,
for timings of hydrofoils which leave daily in summer.
