Foiano Della Chiana lies 31 kilometres south of Arezzo.
Take the Highway A1 and exit at the Val di Chiana-Betolle exit. From
Foiano della Chiana carry on in the direction of Arezzo. On this road
the Commission's sign to the right can be seen. The cemetery lies among
the fields about 50 metres down a lane. On 3 September 1943 the Allies
invaded the Italian mainland, the invasion coinciding with an armistice
made with the Italians who then re-entered the war on the Allied side.
Progress through southern Italy was rapid despite stiff resistance,
but the advance was checked for some months at the German winter defensive
position known as the Gustav Line. The line eventually fell in May 1944
and as the Germans withdrew, Rome was taken by the Allies on 3 June.
Early in July there was heavy fighting in the Chiana valley where the
Germans made their last stand in front of Arezzo and the Arno. The cemetery
is a battlefield cemetery originally formed by the 4th Division and
later increased when graves were brought in from the surrounding area.
Most of the burials in the cemetery date from the first two weeks of
July 1944. Foiano della Chiana War Cemetery contains 256 Commonwealth
burials of the Second World War.
