You might have heard the word “aperitivo” once or twice if you have Italian friends, and this is an "Italian Aperitivo with Monte Cassino History and the Gustav Wine". I will serve you a "finger food dinner of delicious local products" with a unique experience in which I like to interact in order to exchange and offer historical information about Cassino, answer any questions and illustrate focal points regarding some sites of the battle of Cassino in WWII, with a lot of interesting maps and pictures and original information not easy to find in the classic tourist itinerary, wich give very different perspectives of the battlefield behind the Monastery of Monte Cassino. Not only, this is a good opportunity to have a special wine taste of the "Gustav Wine"; a bottle of a unique wine of which I invented the label, inspired by the vines I saw growing, during my walks on the paths around Monte Cassino.

5.00This evening with Pino Valente was very interesting and a little bit different. He is very knowledgeable about the Cassino battles and provided a unique insight to the war in Italy from an Italian perspective. Nice cheese and wine, many interesting artefacts, and Pino and his team were able to give us much valuable local (topographical) information about places we wanted to visit, and the locations mentioned by my father in his detailed war diary from 1944..
Aperitivo with Monte Cassino History and the Gustav Wine – with Pino

5.00This was a truly special way to end our day in Cassino. Hosted by Pino at his accommodation—surrounded by an evocative collection of World War II artefacts—the experience was both deeply personal and thoughtfully curated. The Experience: Pino shared customized stories with us, with a particular focus on the Canadian contribution to the Battle of Monte Cassino. He tailored the conversation to our family, even drawing connections between our fathers’ wartime paths. It felt less like a tour and more like being welcomed into someone’s home for an intimate conversation about history, memory, and shared legacy. Adding to the evening’s poignancy, we met another guest whose father also fought with the Commonwealth forces. The sense of kinship and quiet reverence was moving. The tasting featured a bottle of Gustav wine—named for the infamous Gustav Line—as well as a generous spread of local meats and cheeses. While it’s clear that the hosts hope guests will also stay overnight at the accommodation, we were only able to join for the aperitivo. Pino and his wife were exceptionally gracious, packing up the wine and charcuterie for us to take with us on the train back to Rome. In Summary: This was more than a food and wine experience—it was a heartfelt tribute to those who fought, told with care and authenticity. For anyone with a personal connection to the war, or simply a deep respect for history, this experience offers a meaningful, human-centred perspective on Monte Cassino. Highly recommended, especially for Canadian and Commonwealth travellers tracing ancestral paths.
History and tasting very well paired

4.00It was super interesting. A part of the story that was never told and needs to be known. That's why I find Pino's work fantastic.

5.00A first class talk, discussion and film tailored to the family member's experience which we came to follow, we would recommend this activity to anyone who has personal/family association with the Polish fight and victory at the Abbey of Monte Cassino
An overview of the impact of WW2 on the Abbey and Polish cemetery and the reason why we should reflect

5.00Very informative and helpful. Pino Valente was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about his subject. Highly recommend that you complete this activity before going to the Abbey and the Polish memorial especially if you have a family interest as Pino brings the landscape and history to life.
Aperitif with history

5.00Thanks to ongoing preparation and historical research, Mr. Pino made us aware of and passionate about a historical moment in our country about which we know little, or superficially. With this exciting experience we understood more about this page of history. Films, documents and a passionate story by Mr. Pino made us appreciate them Even more so is the visit to Monte Cassino. Plus a delicious wine and a generous aperitif. Highly recommended!
Highly recommend this tour!

5.00What a great trip! I went to learn about Cassino and the war and ended up finding and meeting family members and learned of my family’s history over 200 years ago. Pino and his team were so accommodating and helpful. They did all the legwork to find my family with just a name and a birthplace. All while asking for nothing in return. I am forever grateful. Thank you!
Fabulous tour

5.00WOW, can’t imagine visiting Cassino without this tour. To go to the Abbey after learning from Pino was such an amazing experience. Highly recommend tour and then visiting the Abbey, Hill 593 and the Polish cemetery. Also stayed in the hotel and recommend this too. Really lovely hotel, very comfortable room, we had a great view of the Abbey and a lovely breakfast. Pino’s passion for the topic just made the visit for us. Highly recommend.

4.00I must say that it was a good experience, Mr. Pino managed to involve us in his enthusiasm in telling the story of the attack on the abbey but with many details of which many unpublished, my recommendation is to go and listen with the intention of asking questions, I hope to return for a walk in the paths and areas of the conflict with a guided tour and organized by Mr. Pino of the Hotel.
