Actually not Italy at all, but the patio on the family restaurant in Charlestown, MA. The monument behind Jack and his honorary aunt Kari, commemorates The Battle of Bunker Hill. Here is the quick description from Wikipedia:
"The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought on June 17, 1775, during the Siege of Boston in the early stages of the American Revolutionary War. The battle is named after Bunker Hill in Charlestown, Massachusetts, which was peripherally involved in the battle. It was the original objective of both the colonial and British troops, though the majority of combat took place on the adjacent Breed's Hill."
