During WWII in the invasion of Italy many allied nations joined in and fought to liberate Italy from Mussolini's fascist government and soon Nazi Germany.
Here you see Canadians fighting the German Fallschrimjagers.
What started out as a small side project became this. So as many of you can tell my photo situation has changed due to my dining room table and decorations being sold. The table tops i've used had to go with it. On the plus side my now open dining room is great for pictures. Credit for the roof goes to Elliot.
Cheers guys. Ill have more uploads soon

Hatszáz évig dolgoztak rajta. Hat évszázad építőmesterei - az égbe törő francia és német gótika művészei és a tágabb térhtásokra törő olaszok - töprengtek azon, miként alakuljanak formái. Rajta hagyta nyomait a reneszánsz és a barokk is. Ez a sokfajta stílustörekvés leolvasható a főhomlokzatról, melyet Napóleon idején fejeztek be.
Kétezer szobor! A fiatornyok tetején, a pilléreken, a kúszóleveles támasztó íveken, az ereszcsatornák nyílásainál és a csipkésen csúcsíves párkányzatokon - mindenütt szobor, minden korszakból; a gótika ördög- és állatfejei, vízköpő szörnyei, oszlopszentek, kifacsart tagú barokk alkotások, a pillérek terhét nyögve tartó kariatidák. Mindez a márvány fehérlő, az időtől elefántcsontszínűre patinásodott tompa csillogásában, ezernyi tűként fúródva az ég kékjébe, csúcsok és csipkézetek ágas-bogas - és mégis olyan organikus rengetegében. Az összbenyomás izgatóan lenyűgöző.
La macelleria di paese
Nei piccoli centri del Nord Italia, dove le strade si svuotano nel primo pomeriggio e il tempo sembra scorrere con un ritmo diverso, le insegne delle vecchie botteghe resistono agli anni e ai cambiamenti. Qui, tra edifici segnati dal tempo e serrande abbassate, sopravvivono ancora le macellerie e le salumerie di una volta, quelle dove il banco ha visto passare generazioni di clienti abituali.
Nonostante la grande distribuzione e le catene di supermercati, ci sono ancora luoghi dove il commercio è fatto di fiducia, di chiacchiere veloci davanti al registratore di cassa e di prezzi scritti a mano su foglietti ingialliti.
村の精肉店 (Mura no seinikuten)
イタリア北部の小さな町では、午後になると通りが静かになり、時間がゆっくりと流れているように感じられる。そんな場所では、昔ながらの商店の看板が今も残り、時代の変化にも負けずに立ち続けている。
時を経た建物と閉ざされたシャッターの間に、昔ながらの精肉店や食料品店が今もなお営業を続けている。ここでは、長年にわたって常連客を迎えてきたカウンターがあり、スーパーマーケットや大手チェーンの波に押されながらも、信頼と手書きの値札、レジ前で交わされる短い会話の中で商いが続いている。
The village butcher shop
In the small towns of Northern Italy, where streets empty in the early afternoon and time seems to flow at a different pace, the signs of old shops withstand the years and changes. Here, among weathered buildings and closed shutters, traditional butcher shops and delicatessens still survive—places where the counter has seen generations of loyal customers.
Despite the rise of supermarkets and retail chains, there are still places where commerce is built on trust, quick conversations at the register, and prices written by hand on yellowed slips of paper.

The primary inspiration for The Breakers was Italian Renaissance style, which differs quite a bit from the other Vanderbilt property I've been to, Biltmore, where the design was influenced by elegant French chateaus.
