Hi, this is the exact location of PG70 Monturano https://maps.app.goo.gl/k46ZpfQy8aMtGP4C9. I'm near and I visited this place to take some photos and reconstruct the history. Near this camp, there is also a railway station (called Monturano-Rapagnano) it was part of the Porto San Giorgio-Amandola railway and connected the sea (starting from Porto San Giorgio city) with the mountains (ending in Amandola city). Today the area is being revalued with a project that is partly destroying the existing warehouses but a small part of the structure will be dedicated to a museum in memory of the dead during WW2.

I’m researching my fiances grandfather Reg Coley who we have found was a pow here and escaped 9/12/43 ( family story says he tried to escape in a boat but was recaptured) does anyone use “what3words” app to locate the exact location? I’ve put the address in from an earlier post but it brings up a rural place

Hi everyone, i wrote two articles about PG70:
- A story reconstruction with photos of the camp (old and new). https://seremailragno.com/2017/01/25/pg70-fermo/
- A historical chronology of the place (prisoner camp, reception camp, linen mill, tannery of skins, now is closed).

This articles are in italian language but you can use traducer in my site to see in english version. I live in Monte Urano about 5 km from PG70. To visit the place you have to call the caretaker and make an appointment. Say me what you think about!
