Celluccio, Comune Di Casalattico, Italy
Celluccio is the hamlet where my grandfather grew up in Italy, near where my dad was born. When he was little, my grandpa would sit in this door in the evenings with his grandfather... it has a great view of the valley. Casalattico is quite near Cassino and for some time during WWII, the front line passed through the area. During this time, they watched the planes roar in over the valley.
