Marocchinate
Marocchinate (Italian for 'Moroccans' deeds', pronounced [marokkiˈnaːte]) refers to the mass rapes and killings committed during World War II after the Battle of Monte Cassino in Italy. These atrocities were mostly committed by the Moroccan Goumiers, colonial troops of the French Expeditionary Corps (FEC), commanded by General Alphonse Juin, and mostly targeted civilian women and girls (as well as a few men and boys) in the rural areas of Southern Lazio, between Naples and Rome – a region popularly known as Ciociaria. Mass rapes continued across the entire campaign northward, including in several locations in Tuscany: Siena, Abbadia S. Salvatore, Radicofani, Murlo, Strove, Poggibonsi, Elsa, S. Quirico d'Orcia, and Colle Val d'Elsa.
