L'Educatore Israelita (lit. 'The Israelite Educator'), known as Il Vessillo Israelitico (lit. 'The Israelite Banner') after 1874, was one of the first Jewish newspapers in Italy.[2] The monthly periodical was founded in 1853 by Giuseppe Levi .[3]
History
[edit]L'Educatore Israelita was founded by Giuseppe Levi in 1853, who published the newspaper in conjunction with Esdra Pontremoli. It advocated moderate Jewish reform, to be brought about by the co-operation of all communities. S. D. Luzzatto, Lelio Della Torre, Lelio Cantoni, Crescenzo Altari, Marco Mortara, and Elia Benamozegh were among its contributors. [3]
After Levi's death in 1874 the periodical was continued in Casale by Flaminio Servi under the title Il Vessillo Israelitico ('The Israelite Banner').[1] During the early years of its existence under this title it contained essays from the pens of such men as Abraham Berliner, Salvatore De Benedetti , Pietro Perreau, Moses Soave, and Moritz Steinschneider; but later its importance as a literary and scientific journal deteriorated.[4]
Flaminio Servi died in 1904, and was succeeded by his son Ferruccio.[4]
