Allied forces landed on the beaches near Nettuno on 22 January 1944 as part of Operation Shingle, an amphibious assault intended to outflank the German Gustav Line south of Rome. The Sicily-Rome American Cemetery, maintained by the American Battle Monuments Commission, holds 7,861 graves on a bluff overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Today Nettuno has approximately 49,873 residents and belongs to the Metropolitan City of Rome, though it lies 68 km south of the capital along the Via Pontina corridor.
Beyond its wartime history, the town preserves a medieval borgo enclosed by walls that Cesare Borgia reinforced in the late 15th century. The Forte Sangallo, a pentagonal fortress commissioned by Alexander VI, guards the old harbour and now serves as a museum. Summer brings Roman day-trippers to the sandy beaches stretching south toward Torre Astura, while the local fishing fleet supplies restaurants along the lungomare.
Trains on the FL8 line connect Nettuno to Roma Termini in about 70 minutes, placing the southern Lazio coast within practical reach of the capital.
