Tuscany Tour: Florence American Cemetery, Chianti Wine Region & San Gimignano

The Florence American Cemetery and Memorial
The very first time I went to the Florence American Cemetery was when I was a teenager. I accompanied my father in Florence for business, and during our journey, I was attracted by the beautiful area on the side of the road.

I asked my father what it was and he told me that was the Florence American Cemetery for the buried soldiers of World War II.

We were the only visitors, and it was a lovely sunny day of summer. I still remember the fresh breeze walking along the grass.

Watching the Latin Crosses and Stars of David installed in the grass, and reading the name of the soldiers, I was trying to imagine the person they were before the war. Even those without a name on their tomb, thinking who they missed in their homeland. I felt grateful for their courage and I was sorry for the unknown soldiers, which had no one who can pray and cry on his grave.
