A film titled 'Activities in Italy' shows the United States 5th Army soldiers entering the city of Pisa, Italy after Nazi German forces surrender during World War II. Soldiers move towards the north and move across the wrecked city. Tanks pass by the Leaning Tower of Pisa (Piazza del Duomo, 56126 Pisa PI, Italy). General Mark W. Clarke and other officers inspect the leaning tower. British anti-aircraft units cross over River Arno the next day.

United States 92nd Infantry Division consisting of African American soldiers in Latignano, in the Comune of Cascina (Pisa) Italy during World War 2. A U.S. Army Captain of the Division briefs members of a patrol, using a pointer to highlight places on a field map. A Lieutenant, smoking a cigarette, and several other soldiers listen to him. The map is an aerial photograph, detailed down to individual small houses. The Captain unfolds two more photographs showing blow-ups of certain places. After discussing the photographs, the Captain stands up, places a rifle on the ground as a reference, and then places pebbles on the map and uses his pointer to describe locations of units, and other information relevant to the mission, as patrol members listen. (Note: reportedly, most of the map represents the Commune of Vicopisano (PI) at North of Arno.)
