Rebuilt city of Cassino, Italy

Casino, Italy, devastated in World War II, has been rebuilt over a decade. The Monastery of Monte Casino, once a German lookout, was destroyed but is now nearly restored. The town, obliterated by Allied bombing in 1944, was liberated by U.S., British, Polish, French, and New Zealand troops after intense fighting. Known as the Forgotten War, the Italian campaign's memory persists through Casino's thriving tourism and war monuments. Youngsters honor the past by placing flowers at the former City Hall, a monument to the valiant G.I.s, ensuring the sacrifices were not in vain.
