ABOUT US
From September 1944 to April 1945 the fate of WW2 in Italy rested upon the banks of a river between Appennines, Romagna Plain, Po Valley and Adriatic Sea: the Senio. For little less than 200 days the river was the scene of an endless stream of figthing, among the fiercest of the whole Italian Campaign: a forgotten and exhausting battle, destined to be of crucial importance for the end of war in Italy.
The Senio River 1944-1945 no-profit association was created with the objective of remembering that time in a respectful, apolitic and historically accurate way, thanks to the commitment and experience of volunteers united in the same passion.
