Piana delle Orme museum, near Latina
Museum
The story
A huge private museum of 20th-century life in the Pontine plain, with large pavilions on the Second World War: dioramas of the Anzio landing and Cassino, and a big collection of vehicles. Good for families and vehicle enthusiasts, though less focused than the museums at Anzio.
What to look for
See the Anzio landing pavilion with the Rangers battle and civilian shelters, and the vehicle halls.
