Popis: | Carlo Alberto Viterbo (1889–1974) made wide-ranging contributions over many years to the development and dissemination of Jewish heritage in Italy, and yet there has been no detailed study of his achievements. He was one of the leading figures of the ‘Jewish Renaissance’ based in Florence in the decades before the First World War; he was president of the Italian Zionist Federation in the 1930s; he was at the centre of the bitter divisions between fascist and anti-fascist Jews prior to the Racial Laws. In the period after the Second World War, he was one of the key players to reconstitute Jewish life in Italy, and editor, from 1944 to 1974, of Israel, the most influential Jewish journal of its time. This article draws not only on published material, but also on Viterbo’s unpublished diary notes and letters which have never been studied. |
