13 The Castel Gandolfo property is situated high (435 feet) above the Western shore of Lake Albano 18 miles from Rome and therefore a little over half of the distance (42 miles) from Anzio, the Allied beachhead, to Rome. The railroad connecting Anzio with Rome runs within one half mile of the Castel Gandolfo property and the Via Appia passes by it a short distance to the East.
