Aperto come campo di prigionia per i soldati britannici e sudafricani catturati in Nord Africa nel 1942, Campo PG 54 poteva accomodare 6.000 uomini. All’inizio attendato, il campo fu parzialmente convertito in baraccato dai prigionieri stessi. In seguito all’Armistizio dell’ 8 settembre 1943 ci fu una fuga generale, ma molti prigionieri furono ricatturati dalle forze di occupazione tedesche, incarcerati nuovamente nel campo e poi spediti negli Stalag in Germania, Austria e Polonia. Circa 800 prigionieri si trovarono su un convoglio di carri bestiame diretti agli Stalag quando fu bombardato dall’aeronautica americana il 28 gennaio 1944 ad Allerona a nord di Orvieto. Dall’armistizio fino alla fine di maggio 1944 PG 54 fu usato dai tedeschi come campo di transito anche per i prigionieri appena presi in Italia. Finalmente abbandonato dopo il passaggio del fronte, fu trasformato in Borgo Santa Maria negli anni successivi.
