The Tenna Valley Trail Reports

Personal accounts from the Tenna Valley Trail in Italy, where participants retrace the routes taken by Allied POWs fleeing from camps after the September 1943 Italian armistice.

The trail follows valley paths through the Marche region, visiting villages where farming families hid escapers and memorials to those who gave their lives. Participants meet local historians and descendants who keep these stories alive.

The Experience

Reports document the stunning Apennine landscapes, encounters with Italian helper families, wreath-laying ceremonies, and the powerful connection between past and present in this remote region.
