Arriving in ancient Rome over 2,000 years ago, the Jewish communities of Italy have retained their identity throughout the millennia. This book traces their recreation of community, focusing on their economic, intellectual, and social lives, as they moved from south to north. Over the centuries, the localised Italian groups were reinforced with the arrival of German, Provencal, Sephardic, and most recently Ashkenazi and Middle Eastern Jews. Surviving religious persecution, ghetto-isation, and the Holocaust, the Jews contributed to Italian society when they could. Supplemented by maps, illustrations, sidebars, and primary sources, the book is a scholarly yet popular overview of a minority group that is proudly Italian and equally proud to be Jewish.
Sara Reguer is chair of the Department of Judaic Studies at Brooklyn College, City University of New York, USA. She is the co-editor and co-author of The Jews of the Middle East and North Africa in Modern Times (2003, with Reeva Simon and Michael Laskier).
