MURPHY

BOLOGNA, Italy, (JTA)—The
Bologna City Council, acting on
recommendation of the local
Jewish community, named one
of the city's streets in honor of
Mario Finzi, a Jew who was one
of the organizers of the Italian
resistance movement. He was
deported to his death in a Nazi
camp in 1944.
A new synagogue was opened
in the presence of government
officials; Dr. Giorgio Zevi, presi-
dent of the Union of Italian
Jewish Communities; and Eliahu
Sasson, Israel Minister to Rome.
The synagogue, which had been
destroyed during the war, was
rebuilt with funds contributed
by the Italian government and
with donations by Jews.
