GSGB D&S SIG - Oct 18th 2020 2pm – with Marco Soria – “The House of Rothschild in Italy and the Jewish Community of Naples”
Now that the Jewish festivals of Sukkot and Simchat Torah are behind us, we can move back to our regular meeting time of Sunday at 2pm (UK time) for the rest of October and November. Soon the clocks will be changing and I hope we do not lose too many of our International members with the change as not everyone changes their clocks at the same time or even at all. All meeting times will be shown in UK time using the Gregorian rather than the Julian calendar…
Our next meeting in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme is from the JGSGB Dutch and Sephardi Special Interest Group (D&S SIG) by Zoom.
Date: Sunday Oct 18th 2020
Time: 14:00 London
Title: “The House of Rothschild in Italy and the Jewish Community of Naples”
Speaker: Marco Soria
Description: The history of the Jewish Community in Naples is quite varied, and one should consider the context in which it developed. Indeed, Jews lived in Naples and in all of Southern Italy continuously up to the beginning of the 16th century. Traces of the synagogues, ritual baths, cemeteries and of the Jewish quarters named giudecche are still visible to this day in many cities and villages. However, at the end of the Middle Ages the Jewish presence in the whole of Southern Italy were either expelled or submitted to forced conversion. The complete absence of Jews in southern Italy would last for three centuries. This talk details the Rothschild involvement in the re-admittance of Jews in the 19th century, and only in the city of Naples.
After the talk, there will be an opportunity for Q&A and discussion on the talk.
