The Italian city captured by the Allies after the defeat of the Nazi army on June 4, 1944 was Rome.
The Liberation of Rome was one of the main episodes of the Italian Campaign of World War II.
On 4 and 5 June 1944, American troops led by General Mark Wayne Clark managed to overcome the last defensive lines of the German army and entered the city without facing resistance, receiving the enthusiastic reception of the Roman population. Field Marshal Albert Kesselring, commander of the Wehrmacht in Italy, preferred to fall back to the north without engaging in combat within the urban area of Rome.
