Cesena 1944

Here's a few interesting pictures from Cesena, Italy, 1944.

To make it even more interesting for my part is that this picture is taken 3 km from my fathers childhood home, he was 9 years old when this n' the other pictures were taken.



The rest of the pictures can be found here.

Re: Cesena 1944

Well, I've been at some of the locations of those photos in the 80's but I haven't any storys to tell 'bout these photos other that it's familiar ground for me. Dad almost started to cry when I showed him these photos last year.
