Two Jewish students and their teacher were savagely attacked by neo-Fascists while laying a wreath in commemoration of World War II resistance fighters. The assailants shouted anti-Semitic slogans while beating the Jewish youths. The nephew of the writer Carlo Levi was among those attacked. Only one of the assailants was arrested.
