Location of Rosia Airfield, Italy
Rosia Airfield is an abandoned World War II military airfield in Italy, which is located approximately 13km southwest of Siena; 180km northwest of Rome. It was used by the United States Army Air Force Twelfth Air Force 3d Reconnaissance Group, which flew F-4 and F-5 Lightnings from the airfield between September 1944 and January 1945.
Today, the airfield runway and dispersal pads are faintly visible on aerial photography of the Nettuno area.
