"Rifiuti di Nettuno"?
What does the Italian expression "RIFIUTI DI NETTUNO" or Trash of Neptune, mean? I just purchased an Italian RSI propaganda postcard with that text on it.

Nettuno is a small seaside town close to Anzio.

The landing was actually at Nettuno beach. Been sunbathing there a lot. When I went 12 years or so ago you could still find quite a few people remembering the landing.
I also think the town was actually called Nettunia then?
