Ferramonti di Tarsia was an internment camp for Jews and foreigners, and the largest of the fifteen internment camps established by Benito Mussolini between June and September 1940.
On June 4, 1940, less than a week before Italy entered World War II, construction of Ferramonti began.
On on June 15, 1940, the arrest of Jewish citizens began, and prisoners began arriving at the camp on June 20.
Over 3,800 Jews were imprisoned at the camp, of which only 141 were Italian.

In September, 1943, six weeks after Mussolini's downfall, the prisoners at Ferramonti di Tarsia were released.
Many internees joined the Allied armed forces.
About 1,000 of the refugees were transferred to Camp Oswego.
