Rome marks ANZAC Day 2023

ANZAC Day commemoration at Rome War Cemetery.

The embassies of New Zealand and Australia in Rome will mark ANZAC Day 2023.

The service will take place at the Rome War Cemetery in Via Nicola Zabaglia on Tuesday 25 April at 09.00 and will be followed by a morning tea on the grounds.

For security purposes an RSVP is mandatory for those wishing to attend the reception.
RSVP: rome@nzembassy.it or telephone 068537501.

Originally held to commemorate members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey in world war one, ANZAC Day is now an occasion for the two countries to pay tribute to all members of their armed forces who died in both world wars and in action since.

Designed by Louis de Soissons and located within the Aurelian Walls near Piramide, the Rome War Cemetery contains 426 Commonwealth burials from world war two.
