Meri Mion receives cake at ceremony in Vicenza marking anniversary of American troops entering city in 1945
The US army has presented an Italian woman with a birthday cake to replace the cake that American soldiers stole from her as it cooled on a windowsill 77 years ago. Meri Mion, who turned 90 the day after the presentation, wiped away tears at a ceremony in Vicenza and said she had not been expecting the cake, although she clearly remembered the moment when the one baked for her 13th birthday had 'disappeared'.
