Veramente un museo eccezionale!
He found it my fourteen-year-old son passionate about history and was not mistaken, a must for all fans and not only, the guide then was of incredible skill.
I think it should be compulsory for all schools to visit!
I will definitely recommend it to everyone

With a keen interest in military history, I was delighted to find such a quality war museum in Rocchetta. The quantity of the varied historical items displayed as well as the information provided is astounding. You can immediately see the level of passion and commitment the owner has for the subject.
The area is steeped with history, particularly with the Bernhardt and Gustav lines of WW2 and the museum gives the conflict an impeccable account of that time.
Highly recommended!

Great experience, the museum contains a vast assortment of WWI and WWII uniforms and artifacts. Perhaps the most impressive objects for me were the working gramophones, which the founders were so kind to turn on for us.

Located in an old mill, this museum is a must-see for anyone with an interest in military history. Although the greatest concentration is upon the weapons and uniforms of the Second World War, there are some very interesting examples from the First World War (including film footage of the White War in the Alps) and interwar years (rise of Fascism and the Spanish Civil War).
I do really wish they allowed photography, at least in some areas. I can understand that some of the items are of a sensitive historic nature, but it would have been fun to get a family picture next to their collection of Carabinieri (Italian military police) uniforms, for example.
A guided tour is required, and our first guide seemed annoyed that I kept stopping to explain things to our kids. (My wife and I speak and read a bit of Italian, but more importantly, I knew about the history of the items on display anyway, Italian or not.) Finally, our guide left us in the care of another docent, who was happy to let us take our time, and answer any questions we had. (He spoke Spanish, Italian, and some English, in that order.) That change made for a much more pleasant and informative visit.
This is a work in progress, and more is being added. There is a big bookshop at the end, which even had a selection of postcards.

My cousin brought me here on our visit, he insisted that we come and I brought my 2 daughters.. all of us were amazed and impressed. The collection John has put together, the way it's presented and the passion from the staff is 2nd to none. After doing a ton of touristy stuff, a visit like this was completely refreshing.
It was great to see the 'war' from a different perspective too. As an American, we see things through our history books and family stories, not wrong at all just a reality, then you come here and you see a lot of the stories from another perspective. It was beyond cool and next time we visit my family here I will return for sure! The surrounding area is beautiful too!

I visited the WW museum with a much less expectation of what I saw. This museum is of such importance that involves the visitor to re-live the world war of 70 years ago and before. Every section is so very detailed and manicured in the reconstruction of what the soldier, the officer and warrior used and wore. There is an extensive collection of arms, from the single bullet to the tank.
The founder and curator Mr. John Capone, is an extraordinary intellectual gentleman that lectures on every single piece that the museum hosts. Besides of the knowledge and technical aspect of every single piece, he can lecture on its past usage and the history behind it.
I spent a couple of hours attentively listening to his lecture, but the visit can be more detailed for lovers of arms, history of battles and places where action took place.
I particularly enjoyed the detailed description of the battles, the casualties, the heroism of the American soldiers and the sufferings of the local populations.
All these descriptions are backed-up by photos, short films and paper reports,
In this museum one can find only original pieces, not copies or reproductions. There are some unique pieces of which there only 5 in existence and mostly in private collections.
The visit to the WW Museum is a must for any visitor.
Thank you Mr., John, your 35 years as founder and curator, brings to our and future generations a valuable source of information of what the humanity went through in 5 years of war horrors.

Rocchetta a Volturno is a charming village with a wonderful old world feeling. The people come to the square to socialize at night. The town is surrounded by beautiful mountains. They remember WW2. This war museum is just off the town square. It seems to be a community endeavor.The locals helping out at this museum were very willing to answer questions. They had stories about the German troops in the village and the surrounding mountains that they heard from their elders. The museum had a good collection of uniforms and hand weapons. There were numerous pictures and audio. The museum covered WW1 on the first floor. This was a very different experience as compared to larger war museums in Europe. It provides insight into an aspect of WW2 that I had not seen before. This is approximately a one hour drive from Cassino.

On a recent visit to my wife's Italian cousins in the small town of Rochetta Al Volturno, we discovered a hidden gem next to the small town square--which, by the way, sports a terrific gelato store. The World War Museum contains an extensive array of uniforms, weapons, newspapers, recordings, and other memorabilia related to Italy's involvement in both world wars but focusing on the second and especially on the famous, highly controversial battle for nearby Monte Casino. The exhibits are of general interest but will be particularly intriguing to students of the allied campaign in central Italy during the push to Rome. The exhibit is the life's work of Johnny, an Italian anthropologist/historian who speaks fluent English and could not be more helpful and pleasant in guiding one through the extensive collection, whether one is a casual observer or a scholar doing research. According to Johnny, the collection will be augmented in the next few years by tanks and planes, to be housed in a nearby location, from the Italian campaign. Military history is not one of my passions, but I found the museum to be extremely interesting and informative and definitely worth a visit. Rochetta is off the beaten path, but the museum, as well as the important Roman excavations nearby and its natural beauty, may make it more of a destination point in coming years. The website for the museum is www.worldwarmuseum.com.
