Nazi Built Parking Lot



As the story goes, the line created by those two black cars once had houses in the same spot. The the left was one of the main roads through the city. The retreating Nazi's decided to blow up the house to block road in order to impede the advancement of the Allied forces.

My Mom tells me that as a child the rubble was still there and they called the area "i Casi Cascatti". Her and her friends would forage through some of the rubble and pick up clay bulbs that they used to use as piggy banks.

In the background there is a walking path to get to the top of the village and you can notice the houses built on the tuff rock.

Today the area is a parking lot.
