My father was in that landing. TEC5 Samuel Lucido, 15 Infantry Regiment. Met my mother in Rome soon afterward.

According to Wikipedia, Audie Murphy also fought in Anzio...

I do remember seeing old films showing Italian civilians welcoming US troops in Rome...Germans did not try to defend Rome against US troops...

Rome was liberated on June 5, 1944, I think something happened the next day that overshadowed it.
