Dr Danila Bracaglia Historian & Certified Tour Guide

Dr. Danila Bracaglia – Historian & Professional Battlefield Guide

Welcome!
I'm Dr. Danila Bracaglia, a professional tour guide and historian specializing in the Italian Campaign of World War II, with a particular focus on key battles during the Allied advance from Salerno to Rome, including Anzio and Monte Cassino.

With a Master’s Degree in History and full certification from the Italian Tourist Authority since 2005, I have spent nearly two decades guiding travelers through the battlefields and hidden stories of WWII Italy.

Personalized WWII Battlefield Tours

My passion lies in bringing to light the personal stories behind the war – whether you're tracing the footsteps of a father, grandfather, uncle, or loved one who served in Italy. Each tour is tailored to the unit, regiment, or division your relative belonged to, transforming historical facts into meaningful, emotional journeys.

Over the years, I have conducted extensive archival research in Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States, gaining access to exclusive military records, battlefield maps, duty rosters, and unpublished documents. My areas of expertise include:

  • Anzio Beachhead and Operation Shingle

  • Monte Cassino and the Gustav Line

  • The Allied advance from Salerno to Rome

But my tours go far beyond military tactics. I offer a comprehensive look at the war's human dimension — the German occupation, the struggles of Italian civilians, and the collapse and reformation of the Italian Army in 1943–44.

How I Can Help You

  • Reconstructing the 1943–1944 path of specific military units

  • Gaining access to lesser-known or restricted historical sites

  • Providing expert analysis of key military actions and locations

  • Sharing personal stories, photographs, and multimedia materials during the tour

More Than Just History

In addition to battlefield tours, I also offer unforgettable cultural experiences in Rome and its surroundings, including:

  • Skip-the-line access to the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and Colosseum

  • Underground Rome tours and secret archaeological sites

  • Food and wine tastings featuring authentic local flavors

  • Custom itineraries that blend history, art, and gastronomy


Let’s Walk Through History Together

My mission is to honor the legacy of those who fought for the liberation of Italy and to share their stories with the world. I would be honored to guide you on this journey of remembrance and discovery.

Thank you for considering my services. I look forward to welcoming you to Italy.
