Italy Bolzano, Nazi concentration / transit camp in northern Italy
In October and November 1943, German authorities rounded up Jews in Rome, Milan, Genoa, Florence, Trieste, and other major cities in northern Italy.
They established police transit camps at Fossoli di Carpi, approximately 12 miles north of Modena, at Bolzano in northeastern Italy, and at Borgo San Dalmazzo, near the French border, to concentrate the Jews prior to deportation. http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005455

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/worldwars/wwtwo/launch_ani_italy_campaign.shtml
Italian campaign 1943-1945
The campaign started in July 1943, when the troops invading Italian territory became the first to liberate Nazi Europe, and did not end until 1945. However, much of the most critical fighting took place in May and June 1944, leading up to the liberation of Rome, on 5 June 1944 – the day before the Normandy Landings.
(...)
Allied casualties in Italy were more than 312,000 – considerably higher than
those in Normandy. during a gruelling advance northwards through what Winston Churchill called the "underbelly of Europe".
