\"italics\"<\/a>ROME \u2014 Italian Jewish leaders voiced solidarity with former member of parliament Arturo Scotto, who was punched in the face by youths shouting about Anne Frank in Venice\u2019s St. Mark\u2019s Square on New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n

Police in Venice are investigating the incident. Scotto, a former leftist member of parliament who is not Jewish, wrote in a Facebook post that he, his wife, and his son were walking in the square when they heard a group of some eight youths shouting chants exalting Italy\u2019s wartime fascist dictator Benito Mussolini.<\/p>\n

The youths also shouted \u201cAnne Frank \u2013 we put her in the ovens,\u201d according to Scotto.<\/p>\n

When he turned to tell the youths to stop, Scotto said they punched him three times in the face and beat up a young man who came over to offer help.<\/p>\n

Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro tweeted that the attack was \u201cdisgusting\u201d and \u201cfascist-like\u201d and said such incidents \u201cwill not be tolerated\u201d in Venice. He said police were attempting to identify the youths, whose faces were covered.<\/p>\n

It did not appear that the assailants recognized Scotto, but that they assaulted him because he confronted them.<\/p>\n

Noemi Di Segni, the president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, called the attack a \u201cbarbarous neofascist aggression.\u201d The new year, she wrote, begins \u201cmarked by hatred, racism, and anti-Semitism. These are phenomena that are \u201cincreasingly widespread, and it is necessary to act against them with the maximum force.\u201d<\/p>\n

The incident comes at a time of increasing right-wing extremism in Italy.<\/p>\n

Rome Jewish community leader Ruth Dureghello offered her support to Scotto, saying \u201cone mustn\u2019t give in to any form of anti-Semitism and racism.\u201d<\/p>\n
