Anzio. Statue of Angelita

This monument  of Anzio is dedicated to a specific child but also to all the innocent fallen of the wars.

Angelita was a girl found under the rubble of her house and saved by a nurse.

But fate had called her and both the child and the nurse perished under successive bombings.

A famous song was dedicated to them in the 1960s with the name Angelita of Anzio.
