Nice picture combining the cross and the Monte Cassino. Strange that the floor tiling decoration which could be construed as "ss" was found acceptable when building it. Any sensitive hint should have been avoided...
Hi Arnhem44 - I would imagine the flooring is in keeping with the rest of the architecture around the pillars and water features in that it is 'Roman' design - but I see what you are saying
When I was there it never ever entered my head that is was 'ss'. It just looked 'Roman' Anyway so what if it was 'ss'. The British 2nd SS Brigade served in Italy, renamed 2nd Commando Brigade in 1944.
