Castelforte, nicknamed 'Little Cassino' was almost totally wiped out by the contending armies, and was awarded the Gold Medal of Civil Valour. All the exhibits and artefacts on display, which come from the private collections of some members and donations, stem from years of work and research on battlefields and in documentary archives.
