During the liberation of Italy the main Allied effort centered on the port of Naples. In the city itself, antifascist forces began an uprising, later known as the Four days of Naples, holding out despite continuous German reprisals until the arrival of Allied forces. It took several offensives between January and May 1944 before the 30km front between Monte Cassino and the western seaboard was broken. The American Fifth Army has occupied Rome on 4 June 1944.
