市庁舎前には、像も立てられた。→ サイト This memorial commemorates Angelita, a young girl found in January 1944 lost and frightened on the beach in the midst of heavy bombing. She was found by S.C. Hayes of the Royal Scots Fusiliers. 少女を見つけたのは、イギリス兵のS.C.ヘイズ
Hayes and his comrades adopted her for a few days but were unable to locate her family. After some days the men left the child with the Red Cross and just minutes after leaving her, there was an explosion from a shell and Angelita was killed. 赤十字に渡した直後に砲弾によって死んだ。
After the war, S.C. Hayes still attempted to track down her family, but he did not succeed. He and his comrades were no t even certain that they had got the child's name correct. Because she stayed unknown, she moved into legend in Anzio.本当の名前は知らなかったと。 On 22 January 1979, this memorial was erected for her, and to commemorate all the innocent victims of war.
しかし、この話はウソかもしれないらしい（笑）。残念な事ではあるが。→ こちらのサイト But at the name of Angelita, all the veterans I spoke to looked blank. The man who claimed to have discovered her, Christopher Hayes ------ died two years ago. But the story that he reported lives on. しかし、アンジェリータという名前に対しては、私が話したベテラン兵はみんな、ポカンとした表情をした。 この少女を発見したと言ったクリストファーヘイズは、・・・・二年前（２００２年か）に亡くなった。しかし、この物語は生き続けている。
A local historian, Amerigo Salvini, has looked into Mr Hayes's story and believes it is untrue. There are too many variations in detail and improbabilities, he says. "If soldiers found a child they would have handed her over at once to the medical corps," he said. 郷土史家のアメリゴサルビーニは、ヘイズの物語を調べた結果、それが真実ではないと信じてる。細かな所で、あまりにも違いが多く、ありそうにない事柄が多すぎるからだ。彼が言うには「もし兵士が子供を見つけたら、直ぐに衛生部隊に渡しただろう」
