War Cemetery in Rome

The burials of 426 soldiers dead in Italy during the Second World War, in the Commonwealth War Cemetery alongside the ancient Aurelian Walls in Rome.
Roma, 25 April 2026

The War Cemetery lies alongside the ancient Aurelian Walls near Porta San Paolo, a place where fighting took place between the Allies and the German occupiers during the Second World War. It gives burials to 426 soldiers coming from various countries of the Commonwealth. Looking at the names and dates inscribed on the lapids, what hit me was how far they came from and how young they died: most of them just in their twenties…

April 25th is the day when Italy celebrates liberation from nazi-fascism, now in its 81st anniversary. On that day I visited the cemetery to pay homage to those young men who gave their lives for a country other than their own.

I couldn’t resist capturing the clouds passing over the Grand Teton mountains. It was worth the climb up a sketchy berm to get a clear view.

Beached

There are scenes that, when you see them, just scream “monochrome”. Like this one on the beach of the little town of Noli on the Ligurian coast in Italy. Photograph taken with the Nikon Zf and the awesome Voigtländer Nokton 40mm f/1.2.
