The 8th of June, as member of Italian paratroopers reenactment group, I participated to the remembrance about fallen on Nettunia and Roma front. It was celebrated at Verano, the central and monumental cemetery of Rome. A parade at three sites and a Mass in Latin language. The day was very hot, standing at attention wearing the uniform under the sun at almost 40°. My helmet was ready to cook eggs.

After, another celebration on the site where paratroopers destroyed a Shermans column and where paratroopers commander died 70 years before.
