• Yaron Harel - Mauro Perani, eds. The Jews in Italy: Their Contribution to the Development and Diffusion of Jewish Heritage. Boston, MA: Academic Studies Press, 2019.

"All twenty-two original articles in the current volume are based on lectures given at the conference “The Jews in Italy: Their Contribution to the Development and Diffusion of Jewish Heritage”, which was convened in September 2011, at the University of Bologna, Department of Cultural Heritage. Geographically, the articles range from Italy to the Ottoman Empire (the Balkans and Aleppo), from France and Germany to the Middle East, including Israel, North and East Africa (Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, and Ethiopia). Chronologically, articles begin with the Roman period, through the Middle Ages and Renaissance until modern times. In this collection, the reader will find a wide range of subjects reflecting various scholarly perspectives such as history; Christian-Jewish relations; Kabbalah; commentary on the Bible and Talmud; language, grammar, and translation; literature; philosophy; gastronomy; art; culture; folklore; and education."--Publisher description.

• Sara Reguer. The Most Tenacious of Minorities: The Jews of Italy. Boston, MA: Academic studies press, 2013.

"Since arriving in Rome more than 2,000 years ago, the Jewish communities of Italy have retained their identity over millennia. This book traces the foundations of their community, focusing on their economic, intellectual, and social lives as they moved between northern and southern Italy. Over the centuries these localized Italian groups were reinforced with the arrival of German, Provencal, Sephardic, and―most recently―Ashkenazi and Middle Eastern Jews. Surviving religious persecution, ghetto-ization, and the Holocaust, the Jews contributed to Italian society when they could. Supplemented by maps, illustrations, sidebars, and primary sources, this book is a scholarly yet popular overview of a minority group that is proud to be Italian and equally proud to be Jewish."--Publisher description.

"Storia degli ebrei in Italia, del docente di Storia Giampiero Carocci, ripercorre il cammino degli ebrei italiani dall'emancipazione - processo iniziato con il periodo rivoluzionario e napoleonico e terminato con la cosiddetta 'seconda emancipazione': la concessione della parità dei diritti civili e politici - fino ai giorni nostri. Centocinquant'anni di storia, che rendono conto della convivenza, all'interno della comunità, di un'identità ebraica molto forte, che si coniuga però anche, inevitabilmente, con il 'sentirsi' italiani."--Publisher description.
