Periodical
for the research of the history, culture, and literature of Italy’s Jews.
Whoever deals with Jewish thought and humanities knows well how important
and influential the Italian Jews were and still are in this wide range of
fields.
The Italian Jews have been passing on their creative thought and knowledge
for generations, in the Hebrew and Italian languages, maintaining a firm
methodical tradition which the Italia periodical is researching. The periodical
emphasizes the importance of studying the language, literature, culture and
history of Italy and Italian Jews.
Italian Jews had a strong presence in the European culture from the 13th
century and to this day. Documents, manuscripts and many books reveal many
remarkable authors and thinkers, Jews and others that had strong ties with the
rather small ethnicity of Italian Jews.
Even though there are many renowned studies on the contributions of
Italian Jews to the cultural making of the Italian nation, there is still a need
for a centralized publication of these past and new studies. Italia is an important focal point for an
academic discussion on the culture, literature, history and language of Italian
Jews as well as a place where one can weigh the conclusions of these studies and
place goals for future research in these exciting fields.
