January 28, 2020 "The offenses and threats to Liliana Segre, Carlo Verdelli and Paolo Berizzi add to other shameful racist and anti-Semitic episodes that have occurred in the last few days and that have ended up staining the Memorial Day. Italy reaffirms its commitment, at all sites, to promoting and strengthening the memory of the Holocaust and to countering anti-Semitism in all its forms. I trust in the work of the police forces so that those responsible are identified and prosecuted ". So on Fb the premier Giuseppe Conte.

"But just indignation cannot suffice, especially when words of hatred and intolerance re-emerge vehemently that bring us back to the darkest hours of our history. The fight against the new anti-Semitic regurgitations must be a daily practice of civism and democracy, a battle without a quarter against execrable ideologies already condemned by history. It will not be these despicable gestures, carried out in anonymity and in a vile way, to obscure our consciences. To the victims of these ignoble episodes I express my personal solidarity and that of the entire Government ", concludes the president.
