The Basilica at Monte Cassino
During the Second World War, the monastery buildings complex was pulverised by aerial bombardments. Restoration followed and the monastery and basilica were re-consecrated by Pope Paul VI in 1964.
The restoration work has continued since then.
The distinguished artist Annigoni was only one who contributed his services.
