1. Senator Athos De Luca (Greens) had been the law's main sponsor in the Senate.
2. The phrase ‘Day of Remembrance’ had appeared in the Stockholm Declaration. There was a certain variety in phraseology in the press coverage, from ‘Giornata della memoria’ (various newpapers) to ‘Giorno del ricordo’ (La Stampa) to the more specific ‘Giorno della Shoah’ used by La Repubblica in its highly Judaic pagehead logo on 27 and 28 January (‘Giorno della Shoah’ accompanied by a Star of David and a menorah). Corriere della Sera's logo, by contrast, consisted of two undulating pieces of barbed wire, representing deportation and the concentration camps in a more generalised and generic way.
