+# From Alois Triendl (2019-07-02):
+# I spent 6 Euros to buay two archive copies of Il Messagero, a Roman paper,
+# for 1 and 2 April 1944.  The edition of 2 April has this note: "Tonight at 2
+# am, put forward the clock by one hour.  Remember that in the night between
+# today and Monday the 'ora legale' will come in force again."  That makes it
+# clear that in Rome the change was on Monday, 3 April 1944 at 2 am.

 # From Paul Eggert (2016-10-27):
 # Go with INRiM for DST rules, except as corrected by Inglis for 1944
 # for the Kingdom of Italy.  This is consistent with Renzo Baldini.
