8-day trip - Liberate Rome!
This is a unique opportunity to combine the old and the new. The extreme contrast of modern warfare so very close to sites of ancient history like Paestum and Pompeii mean this is a trip you won't forget. The battle for Monte Cassino and the landing at Anzio are two stops on the journey to Rome.
