Casinina between wartime history and regional festival culture

Casinina turns its attention to history, regional routes and the culinary culture of the surrounding area. The Museo Storico della Linea Gotica di Casinina displays more than 3,000 artifacts, documents, photographs, uniforms and military vehicles from the battlefields of the Gothic Line.

History of the Gothic Line

The site of the Museo Storico della Linea Gotica di Casinina was a minefield and one of the strategic points of the first line of the Gothic Line. In 1944, fierce fighting took place here between German troops and the British Eighth Army. As a result, the history of the site remains closely connected with a specific period of the Second World War and is conveyed not only through documents, but also through preserved or recovered objects.

Museum and Parco della Memoria

The Parco della Memoria displays original military vehicles, including tracked vehicles, motorcycles and jeeps. These are joined by the remains of aircraft that bombed the Gothic Line in 1944. A bunker recovered by the museum is considered the largest bunker in the eastern section of the Gothic Line that can be visited today.

For school groups, the Museo Storico della Linea Gotica di Casinina offers tours of the museum rooms and the Parco della Memoria, as well as history education workshops. During these workshops, original documents from the museum archive are analyzed. Visits can be adapted to the specific needs of groups. Tours can be booked by telephone or email.

The Parco della Memoria also has facilities for visitor picnics, including for large groups, as well as free-to-use toilets. These practical amenities are located directly within the museum park and complement the vehicles, aircraft remains and recovered bunker presented there.

Local flavors and festivals in Auditore

The culinary offerings in the surrounding area include the bakery in Casinina di Sassocorvaro Auditore. It offers bread, pizza, focaccia, cakes, tarts and brioche.
