摘要

The Jewish presence in Italy is very ancient, dating back to the Maccabean period (II BC). The Giudei der Cupolone, as they were nicknamed in Roman vernacular, settled in Rome at that time and included (among others) the Alatris, maternal ancestors of the architect and mathematician Mario G. Salvadori. In Piedmont, the main settlements began to be established in the fifteenth century and consisted of Jews escaping from Provence, attracted by the prospect of moderately good living conditions. Through the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries, many important communities (then called università, universities) formed throughout the Peninsula. Their presence was concentrated in some regions (Piedmont, Tuscany, Veneto, Lazio), and more sporadically in the south.
