State Building and Minorities: Jews in Italy

History Sunday, May 5 – Tuesday, May 7 2019 The University of Maryland, College Park

Join the Nathan and Jeanette Miller Center for Historical Studies at a co-sponsored conference.


The Conference will focus particularly on the social history of Italian Jews and their interaction with the Christian society.  We want to investigate the reasons that lead Italian princes and republics to refuse the Spanish policy on Jews (expulsion), in favour of an ‘Italian way’ (concentration in ghettos) of structuring Christian-Jewish relations. Our aim is principally to insert the study of Jewish institutions, norms and behaviours into the broader context of Italian and Mediterranean history.
