The intimate story of an Italian peasant community’s unique conversion to the Jewish faith, and its links to major changes that swept twentieth-century Europe Not many people know of the utterly extraordinary events that took place in a humble southern Italian town in the first half of the twentieth century—and those who do have struggled to explain them. In the late 1920s, a crippled shoemaker had a vision where God called upon him to bring the Jewish faith to this “dark corner” in the Catholic heartlands, despite his having had no prior contact with Judaism itself. By 1938, about a dozen families had converted at one of the most troubled times for Italy’s Jews. The peasant community came under the watchful eyes of Mussolini’s regime and the Catholic Church, but persisted in their new belief, eventually securing approval of their conversion from the rabbinical authorities, and emigrating to the newly founded State of Israel, where a community still exists today. In this first fully documented examination of the San Nicandro story, John A. Davis explains how and why these incredible events unfolded as they did. Using the converts’ own accounts and a wide range of hitherto unknown sources, Davis uncovers the everyday trials and tribulations within this community, and shows how they intersected with many key contemporary issues, including national identity and popular devotional cults, Fascist and Catholic persecution, Zionist networks and postwar Jewish refugees, and the mass exodus that would bring the Mediterranean peasant world to an end. Vivid and poignant, this book draws fresh and intriguing links between the astonishing San Nicandro affair and the wider transformation of twentieth-century Europe.

Donato Manduzio was an illiterate Southern Italian peasant who only learned how to read and write at the age of thirty-two, while convalescing from a wound during the First World War. His subsequent reading of Scripture and the visions he experienced led him to turn to Judaism and to seek an official conversion for himself and seventy-odd followers. For twelve of the sixteen-year-long process, Manduzio wrote about his experiences. Although some excerpts from the Diary have been translated, the manuscript has remained unpublished either in Italian or in any other language up to this day. This book translates the full text of Manduzio’s Diary from the original Italian into English, making it available at last to a wider public. After providing a social and historical framework for the trajectory of this remarkable man, it retraces Manduzio’s mystical visions and spiritual development, as well as his struggle to create and maintain a Jewish community in a remote corner of Apulia at a time when Fascism was taking hold of Italy. It also shows how the text fits in the context of religious conversion narratives and of literary studies, thus shedding a fresh and fascinating light on the subject. This book will be of interest to specialists of autobiography, Jewish studies, Italian studies, and cultural studies. The Diary’s literary qualities and riveting story-telling will also make it a must-read for general audiences.

In this lyrical memoir, translated for the first time into English, noted Jewish historian, author, translator, and activist Augusto Segre not only recounts his rich life experiences but also evokes the changing world of Italian Jewry in the twentieth century. Raised in the traditional Jewish community of Casale Monferrato in the former ghetto, Segre depicts the changes wrought on his people by emancipation, fascism, world wars, and the Holocaust. Segre was a vocal opponent of Italian fascism and a combatant in Italy s partisan war against the Nazis. With the help of Italian peasants, he and his family spent eighteen months evading German and Italian fascist soldiers during the German occupation of Italy. Segre also was an ardent Zionist who helped refugees escape to Israel and ultimately immigrated himself in 1979. He spent three months in Israel in 1948, chronicling Israel s War of Independence. With an ethnographic eye, Segre interweaves his own memories with those of his rabbi father and uses newspapers, public documents, and letters to reveal the shared emotions and moods of a people and the impact the greatest events in European and Jewish history had on them all. The trend of Italian Jews toward assimilation was evident in Segre s time, and an awareness of it pervades this work. Memories of Jewish Life provides a rare glimpse into a traditional, religious and vibrant working-class Jewish community that no longer exists.

The volume brings together a collection of essays on Jewish-related subjects to celebrate Emanuela Trevisan Semi’s career and research authored by some former students, friends and colleagues on the occasion of her retirement. Drawing upon the many academic interests and research of Trevisan Semi, one of the most important European scholars of Jewish and Israel Studies, the volume discusses the diversity of Jewish culture both in the diaspora and in Israel. The contributors here wrote their pieces understanding Jewish culture as inscribed in a set of different, yet interrelated, homelands and diasporas, depending on the time and space we refer to, and what this means for communities and individuals living in places as different as West Africa, Poland, Morocco, and Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. At the same time, they discuss the notion of diaspora as being crucial in the formation of the Jewish cultural identity both before and after the birth of the State of Israel.

Per diciannove anni della sua intensa vita, dal 1960 al 1979, Lisetta Carmi è stata una grande fotogiornalista. Prima e dopo altre vite, tra musica e spiritualità. In fotografia è stata autodidatta, curiosa e intraprendente, ha viaggiato in Italia e nel mondo per “dare voce a chi non ne ha”, sempre dalla parte di chi soffre, di chi lotta, di chi si oppone alle ingiustizie. La sua è una fotografia che rifiuta gli esercizi di stile e che cerca sempre il contatto diretto con le persone e con gli avvenimenti.

La storia bimillenaria delle comunità ebraiche in Italia è la straordinaria avventura, tanto tormentata quanto poco nota, di una minoranza (poche decine di migliaia di persone) che ha saputo radicarsi capillarmente in tutto il territorio del nostro paese, dalle Alpi alla Sicilia, dal Friuli alla Sardegna. E che, malgrado le umiliazioni e le vessazioni subite da parte delle autorità politiche ed ecclesiastiche locali, è riuscita a salvaguardare sempre le proprie tradizioni e la propria identità culturale senza isolarsi e rinchiudersi in se stessa, ma anzi partecipando attivamente alla vita sociale ed economica dei luoghi in cui si è insediata. Di questa singolare vicenda, che rappresenta un caso unico nel panorama europeo, Riccardo Calimani ricostruisce qui una prima ampia parte: dalla libera alleanza degli ebrei con la Roma repubblicana e dai secoli dell'esilio, dopo la distruzione di Gerusalemme (70 e.v.) voluta dall'imperatore romano Tito, sino al rimescolamento delle varie comunità ebraiche del Vecchio Continente provocato dalla loro espulsione dalla Penisola iberica alla fine del XV secolo. Il vero punto di svolta di questo complesso itinerario è costituito dall¿editto di Costantino (313), che, legittimando la cristianità, inaugura la lunga stagione dell'incontro- scontro tra giudaismo della diaspora e Chiesa di Roma. Un rapporto ambivalente che si riflette nella costante oscillazione nel trattamento da essa riservato per tutto il Medioevo (e oltre) agli ebrei, condannati come popolo maledetto per non aver riconosciuto in Cristo il messia, e nel contempo protetti in quanto testimoni della verità del Vecchio Testamento, secondo la lettura teologica agostiniana. Nell'ambito di questo paradosso trovano spazio l'aperta discriminazione, sancita dal IV Concilio Lateranense (1215) con l'imposizione della rotella come segno distintivo, e le ricorrenti persecuzioni, di volta in volta fomentate dalle infamanti accuse di avvelenare i pozzi per seminare la pestilenza, o da quelle di praticare l¿infanticidio ritu ale o dalla forsennata propaganda antigiudaica dei frati predicatori. Ma anche atteggiamenti di benevola tolleranza che hanno consentito agli ebrei, benché esclusi dalle corporazioni gravati da pesanti tributi e da uno status giuridico penalizzante, di raggiungere l'eccellenza nell¿arte medica e di svolgere una funzione finanziaria (il prestito su pegno) decisiva sia per l'economia locale sia per le dissestate finanze dei diversi sovrani. In questa monumentale opera di ricomposizione delle tracce disperse della presenza ebraica in ogni città, paese e borgo d'Italia, che ha come sfondo tutti i più grandiosi e drammatici scenari (le crociate, l'Inquisizione, la nascita e il crollo degli imperi) della storia dell'Occidente, Calimani individua nella ricchezza della tradizione giudaica la forza che non solo ha preservato lidentità minacciata degli esuli, ma ha alimentato un dialogo reciprocamente fecondo con la cultura italiana ed europea.
