People participate in a march of remembrance marking the 80th anniversary of the round-up of the Jews of Rome in Rome on Monday.The president of the Shoah Museum Foundation that is heading the project, Mario Venezia, said the Italian role in the Holocaust must be central to the museum.

Rome, 16 October 1943” during a preview for the media.Venezia said it was an important sign that Meloni’s government confirmed the foundation as central to the museum project, without creating a new one. He believes that the project’s delays in recent years have been mostly for bureaucratic, not ideological, reasons.
