Tuscany — Villa San Girolamo

The English Patient — Italy

Scene

1944-45 — the English patient and his nurse Hana shelter in an abandoned Tuscan monastery as the war slowly ends around them.

History

The Italian campaign was the longest and most grinding Allied operation in Western Europe. The Gothic Line across Tuscany was not fully broken until April 1945. Over 300,000 Allied soldiers became casualties in Italy. The slow pace frustrated Allied commanders who believed the Italian campaign bled divisions that could have ended the war sooner.
