Yes, and that's why I guessed German DST rules for Rome in April 1944. If memory serves, the "Rule Italy 1944 only Apr 2 ..." line is used only indirectly by zic (comment it out to see why). Of course primary sources (such as Roman newspapers during that period) would be better than my guess, but it was a chaotic time and it might be difficult to come up with anything reliable.
