| Historical Information: |
The cemetery site was selected by the Army in November 1944, and the cemetery was formed by concentrations from the surrounding battlefields. Those buried here died for the most part during the advance from Rimini to Forli and beyond in September-November 1944, an advance across one flooded river after another in atrocious autumn weather. There are now 775, 1939-45 war casualties commemorated in this site. Of these, 3 are unidentified.
