★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was very lucky to be able to visit for 3 consecutive Remembrance Days, and there is no calmer, more serene resting place for the proud souls who rest here. Beautifully maintained, with the purest headstones. Amazing to behold.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a memorial to the many hundreds of young Canadians and their comrades from around the Commonwealth who died defending Europe from the NAZI war machine. It was very very tough going here; Churchill once called Ortona the 'Little Stalingrad.' The courage and heroic contribution of the young men who rest here are in many ways eclipsed by the Normandy invasion. However, the Italians have done a wonderful job of honouring the sacrifice made here. This is as much a garden of remembrance and honour as it is a graveyard. As a Canadian I am thankful for the care and respect; seeing Ortona enhances the strong bonds of friendship between our two peoples.
I highly recommend every Canadian that visits Italy make some time for Ortona - the natural setting is stunning, the folks are friendly and welcoming, and the war memorial / garden is a powerful place. Hey, it's Italy - You will not regret it!
