The city of Rome on Thursday
changed the names of two streets devoted to Edoardo Zavattari
and Arturo Donaggio, who were among the Italian scientists to
sign Benito Mussolini's racial laws in 1938 and which led to the
ferocious persecution of Italy's Jews during World War II.
The streets were renamed after scientists who opposed the
Fascist regime and were victims of the racial laws - the
physician Mario Carrara, the physicist Nella Mortara and the
zoologist Enrica Calabresi.
Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi renamed the streets at a ceremony
with students and representatives of the Jewish community.
