For Italy in 1944 zone Europe/Rome there is a discrepancy between the comment and the data.

Data for Italy is Rule Italy 1944 only - Apr 2 2:00s 1:00 S
Data for C-Eur is: Rule C-Eur 1944 1945 - Apr Mon>=1 2:00s 1:00 S
where Mon>=1 in 1944 is April 3.
So Rome is NOT following C-Eur.
I think the rule for Itay is right, only the comment is misleading.
I am not so sure. The INRIM site no longer seems to give historical information. But the switch on 1944-04-03T01Z is also on [www.ac-ilsestante.it/MERIDIANE/ora_legale/ORA_LEGALE_ESTIVA_IN_ITALIA.htm] for the Social Republic of Salò, and Rome was only liberated on 1944-06-04. So I think 1944-04-03 may be right for Rome. Michael Deckers.
