Vestige of a recent past: CORIANO RIDGE WAR CEMETERY (1939-1945)
Unforgettable. About 3 miles from Riccione, a visit here is highly recommended.

       Short abstract from "Atlas of World War II"
"After Rome fell, the Allies forced the Germans back to their last defense - the Gothic Line. The Germans were now being reinforced from the Balkans and Germany, while Allied troops, aircraft and landing craft had been drawn off to France. British Eighth Army reached the Gothic Line on 30 August 1944 and attacked with considerable success, but the Germans held commanding positions on the Gemmano and Coriano Ridges that slowed the advance to Rimini until late September. US Fifth Army had also broken through, but the approach of winter found Clarkís exhausted forces short of their objective of Bologna. The Allied advance did not resume until April 1945."
