Colle San Magno. Living Museum of Memory

Colle San Magno. Living Museum of Memory

The Living Museum of Memory in Colle San Magno was opened in October 2013 in a former eighteenth-century convent.

The museum traces the experiences of the Second World War, through the memory and stories of the people who lived through it.

In fact, Colle San Magno hosted the German defence of the Cassino front for nine months: from October 1943 to May 1944.

The exhibition itinerary is divided into six rooms and reconstructs the war events starting from the direct testimony of the population, in audio and in video.

The museum displays objects and memorabilia spontaneously donated by the citizens.

On the ground floor, two rooms host temporary exhibitions. The Museum exhibits are also explained in English.
