中新网报道，意大利一座广场以中国已故外交官何凤山命名。该外交官在二战期间拯救了数以千计的犹太人，被称为“中国的辛德勒”。

On Wednesday, a stone plaque² was unveiled at a ceremony inside the Garden of Monte Stella in Milan to recognize Ho's humanitarian³ deeds. And on Thursday, Piazzetta Ho Fengshan, located in Milan's Chinatown, was named in his honor.

This is the first time an Italian city has named a place after a Chinese person.

During his time as China's Consul-General in Vienna from 1938 to 1940, Ho issued Shanghai visas for thousands of Jews, helping⁴ them to flee from Europe and escape the Holocaust⁵. For his work he was awarded the title of "Righteous among the Nations" in 2001 by Yad Vashem, Israel's national Holocaust memorial.

Ho Fengshan died in the United States in San Francisco in 1997. He was 96 years old.
