Abstract

[For the Jews on the peninsula, Italian Unification signaled the end of a regime of separation and discrimination, the definitive dismantling of the ghetto, and the completion of the emancipatory process. The attainment of complete equality of civil rights—which had begun in 1848 when Charles Albert, King of Sardinia, granted civil and legal equality to the Jewish community of Piedmont—had a momentous role in transforming the Jewish community. In addition, the vast economic, political, and social transformation that all segments of European society experienced toward the end of the eighteenth century profoundly influenced the life of Jewish communities. The spread of Enlightenment ideas and the integration of the Jewish minority (approximately 0.1% of the Italian population) accelerated the process of modernization, generating significant changes in the Jewish community and forcing the reevaluation of their traditional sense of balance.]
