That the German-occupied northern part of Italy observed DST on different dates than the rest of Italy in 1944 helps explain the different dates given by Shanks and www.inrim.it. Shanks has an ending date for DST in 1944 that matches one part of Italy and www.inrim.it has an ending date that matches the other part of Italy. Evidently the dates given by both Shanks and www.inrim.it are correct but apply to different regions of Italy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pierpaolo Bernardi" <olopierpa@gmail.com> To: "Gent, R.H. van (Rob)" <R.H.vanGent@uu.nl> Cc: <tz@iana.org> Sent: Monday, October 24, 2016 1:07 PM Subject: Re: [tz] Historical discrepancies for Italy.

Hi,
The German-occupied part of Italy probably followed that of Germany, the liberated part probably followed that of the UK.
Actually, the German controlled part officially was RSI, a puppet state governed by Mussolini, and that page quotes an RSI law as RSI, Presidenza, fasc. 57 / Decreto-legge del Duce n. 604 del 19.09.1944-XXII (i.e. decrees from Mussolini).
For the southern part the references are Regio decreto-legge n. 92 del 29.03.1944 / Decreto-legge luogotenenziale n. 219 del 14.09.1944 (i.e. royal decrees).
Sigh.
Cheers
