Seventy-six years ago Polish soldiers under the command of General W?adys?aw Anders spilt their blood for a free Europe storming and capturing the German-occupied abbey on top of Monte Cassino, Italy.
"We are convinced that we must show our gratitude to Poles, especially to the heroic soldiers who fought 76 years ago at Monte Cassino," said Enzo Salera, the mayor of Cassino, adding "Thus the construction of the memorial to General Anders and 1,057 soldiers under his command who fell fighting for freedom, will help preserve the memory of their deeds for future generations."
Polish athlete Bogus?aw Mami?ski is one of the initiators of the construction of the monument and the organiser of the "Monte Cassino Run".
"We managed to convince the town authorities that the tourist tour route should start not at the car park by the cemetery of the Polish soldiers but by the memorial in the town itself," said Mr Mami?ski, adding that the monument will also be the first stop on an educational path that will guide tourists, when they arrive, through the most important Monte Cassino sites.
Golden letters forming the names of the fallen Polish soldiers will be engraved on a 19-metre-long black granite wall.
Stones brought from Poland will be placed on a surface of 144 square metres to symbolise young people, who fell in the battle of Monte Cassino.
