The President of Rome's Jewish
Community, Ruth Dureghello, on Monday poured scorn on the idea
of burying Victor Emmanuel III in the Pantheon in Rome along
with Italy's other monarchs.
"I am convinced that the institutions will take the right
position on this," Dureghello said after members of the House of
Savoy family said they would like Italy's penultimate king to be
buried in the Pantheon.
"It would truly be a mockery to put the body near to the
place where so many Italian Jews were deported".
