The Cemetery lies in the Commune of Argenta in the Province of Ferrara and the town of Argenta is 2 kilometres south of the cemetery on the SS16 connecting Ravenna with Ferrara.

​

The site of the cemetery was chosen by the 78th Division for battlefield burials, and the cemetery was later enlarged by the bringing in of burials from the surrounding district. It marks the final stages of the hard fighting in Italy in the spring of 1945, and contains among others the graves of many men of the Commandos engaged in the amphibious operations on the shores of the Comacchio lagoon early in April 1945. There are now over 600, 1939-45 war casualties commemorated in this site. Of these, a small number are unidentified.
