There is a British Commonwealth cemetery in the middle of Milan where 421 World War II dead are buried.

In the Cimitero di Guerra di Milano, 421 soldiers from British Commonwealth nations (27 of whom are unidentified) who participated in the Italian Liberation War and died during World War II are buried. The small cemetery, in the typical British style, is immersed in the greenery of the Aniasi Park and is surrounded by a hedge and protected by large trees. It is made up of white plaques all the same on an English lawn. At the entrance, there is a large white cross positioned on the main axis between the entrance and the first row of burials, which symbolizes the sacrifice of the fighters who died in the Italian campaign.
