An assortment of family connections in this video: - Samuel David Luzzatto was the great-great-nephew of Mosé Luzzatto, the Ramhal, and the great-grandfather of New York City mayor Fiorello LaGuardia. Prime Minister Luigi Luzzatti is from a different branch of the same family. - Giacomo Segre was the great-grandson of Rabbi Salvatore Segre, the deputy leader of Napoleon's Sanhedrin, and the father of World War I general Roberto Salvatore Segre. Italian Senator Liliana Segre is from a different branch of the same family. - Sarina Levi Nathan returned to Italy after the Capture of Rome and was very active in assisting women and the poor. Her son Ernesto Nathan was mayor of Rome from 1907 to 1913.

I had no idea jews were so influential in the risorgimento, so much so that the entire expedition of the thousand was funded by a Jewish woman! This channel is absolutely amazing, and I really want to thank you for making this series because most other channels would have given up a millennium ago. By the way, my grandmother is originally from Tunisia, and I remember from her that in the Tunisian Jewish quarter there was a whole section for the jews from Livorno, and it's really cool that now I understand how and why they settled there.

An interesting postscript is that in the nationalist Italian army that conquered Rome, was Edgardo Montaro's brother who went into the Vatican, rifle in hand, hoping to liberate his brother. Unfortunately, when he found his brother, Edgardo was unwilling to leave the Vatican or his adopted religion.

"the loss of papal state was indeed a blessing" - Albino Luciani, John Paul I
I just want to say I love your videos. I'm Jewish, but I never understood my relationship to that history very well. The farthest I can directly trace my ancestors is Russia, how did they get there from the Levant? Family history is fuzzy about whether they fell in with the Reform, Orthodox, or Hasidic movements, and I really didn't even know much of the difference between the latter two. I've been binging your videos, and while there's obviously still some gaps - there's still 152 years of history left, and even once we get there, it's about Jews as a whole, not my specific family - I can't tell you how much greater a connection I feel to my family's history and to the legacy and experiences of my ancestors from watching and learning from your videos. !תודה חבר

Asking a British newspaper their opinion on pope is like asking the KKK about MLK. Catholic emancipation was only recently passed in the UK after centuries of persecutions. It was Pius IX who officially re-established Catholic church in England, and a lot of Anglicans were still mad about it, whether left or right.

That's true, but equally the _Spectator_ in this case wasn't criticizing the Church; it was criticizing Austria and France for keeping an archaic totalitarian state on life support for their own domestic political purposes.

What a great episode. I’d just like to shout out a few other popular figures who had impacts on both Risorgimento and Jewish emancipation, such as Carlo Cattaneo, one of the leaders of the “five days of Milan” of 1848, who had made his university thesis on how restrictions on Jews were responsible for most of the prejudices aimed at them and their lack of integration, and Elia Benamozegh, Chief Rabbi of Livorno, Kabbalist, who corresponded with Mazzini. And peripheral to this, in Giuseppe Verdi’s Nabucco which as an allegory for Italy’s resurgence used Jewish exile in Babylon and Va Pensiero has been strongly considered as a national anthem.
What a great video! I am Italian and a history fan and I think that you made an excellent job, not only in explaining a pretty complex period of Italian history, but also in highlighting the importance of the Jewish community and the general sense of solidarity among which permeated (most of) the Risorgimento. Grazie!

Fantastic storytelling, Sam! I even enjoyed watching your OmniAtlas advert LOL! Here are some Italian pronunciation tips so you sound like a pro: A is always pronounced like AH as in father. Never like A as in cat. E is always pronounced like AY, as in day I is always pronounced like EE as in See like in Gucci, Pucci, Fiorucci O is always pronounced like the O in Oh, no! U is always pronounced like the long U in tune. GN is a NY sound (similar to the Spanish ñ) so Gnocchi (gno-cchi) is pronounced nyoh-kee. GH is pronounced as a hard G so funghi (fun-ghi) is pronounced foon-gee, and also the hard G in spaghetti (spa-ghe-tti) = spah-gay-tee C/CC before E or I has a CH sound as in ciao or Gucci! (AO is a OW sound as in cow) otherwise it's a K sound as in Rocco CH/CCH before I or E is a K sound so CHE is pronounced Kay or gnocchi= nyoh-kee Z/ZZ is a TZ sound as in pizza, or with an AH in the middle and it's piazza (pee-ah-tzah) Syllables in Italian words generally follow a consonant-vowel consonant-vowel format. So Civita is Ci-vi-ta = chee-vee-tah and Sardinia (Sar-di-ni-a) is Sar-dee-nee-ah. Veneto (Ve-ne-to) is Vay-nay-toh. Mazzotti (Ma-zzo-tti) = Mah-tzoh-tee. And Rome's port, Civitavecchia (Ci-vi-ta-ve-cchi-a) is pronounced Chee-vee-tah-vay-kee-ah.

I'm an Italian-American Jew-by-choice who has long been fascinated and interested in Giuseppe Mazzini and the Risorgimento. Yesterday, while I was googling Jews' roles in the Risorgimento, and I accidentally came across your video. I decided to watch it today, and I'm incredibly impressed by the quality of this video! The history of the Risorgimento goes underappreciated. It's amazing how much history you put into just 30 minutes! I also loved the beautiful graphics :) I was shocked to see you don't have more views and subscribers! My one criticism was that some of the pronunciation of the names and Italian words was off, but I won't be too harsh because this video was truly superb. I've marked it as one of my favourites, and I look forward to watching your future videos! Thank you so much for making this!
Interesting, very interesting. Yet, as a Risorgimento buff, I have to add some points: - Piedmont-Sardinia held the county of Nice as well, in some maps it doesn't appear - The II Indipendence War CB was not the abdication of tuscan Grand duke (which happened one year later) but a series of border military excercises AH considered a provocation and intimated an halt. - A remind that King Vittorio Emanuele II was the only monarch to not withdraw his 1848 statute while pressured - The money flew from many sources, including Liverpool workers who self-taxated to contribute - The 1000 expedition aim was Tuscany then Rome, but went south once knew Sicily rebelled (again) - Missed to mention the conditions of the Jewish community in Southern Italy and how even more viciously and loudly antisemitic was the bourbon dinasty - The Pope also armed and supported the exiled king of Naples in his attempt to hire mercenaries and local criminal bands to try to get back the throne. Also, the exiled neapolitan court is responsible of still living antisemitic conspiracy theories on his fall and defeat; these spread right by the Civiltà Cattolica newspaper - Italy didn't achieved unity until WW1. Garibaldi himself on his death bed lamented he couldn't free Trento and Trieste
I got chills when, "1848" appeared to the Anvil Chorus
That Papal Infallability is something that justifies all that the Pope does is just wrong. Papal Infallanility has only been proclaimed a very few times, and none of them have ever had to do with politics. It is only used in very specific and dogmatic questions regarding faith, such as the Perpetual Virginity of the Virgin Mary. Pius IX never made any proclamations ex cathedra against the Italian state.

It is a very good video. Just two basic mistakes, you forget Jewish communities in the north of the Papal States. Bologna, Ferrara, Lugo, and Ancona had less restrictions than the Roman Jews. That aside, it is a great summary of the Jewish contribution to the unification of Italy.
Wow what an amazing story of the separation of church and state!The need for this fundamental political system!

A side effect of the expulsions from Naples and Sicily is when that region had a mass emigration centuries later, none of those emigrants were Jewish. The number of Italian Jews in America is miniscule, and most any Jewish-Italian-Americans you meet today are the result of later intermarriage.

They still had provincial passports whit internal border checks as a counterrevolutionary measure (imagine being a lucky young man from Pescara trying to study at Naples or a seasonal worker from Aepulia or Calabria trying to NOT starve after a bad harvest... yeah...) and strict ban on expatriation. Bourbon dinasty (the sicilies were never two, everything was Naples and only Naples) was the DPRK of Italy, even worse than the pope domain.

Sam, thank you for your presentation of the facts, I feel you have presented this information with the least amount of bias against the Catholic Church, which arguably would be understandable given Rome's tenured and well-known relationship with the Jewish Faith. I personally have gained so much from this channel and it is a huge blessing to have a deeper appreciation for a people who have been earnestly good to me and have taught me the finer points of Jewish Hospitality. Let's clarify this so that everyone is perfectly clear, Papal Infallibility only relates to dogmas internally held by the Church. The Pope has always held this position historically as long as he has been backed by an ecumenical council. We see clearly infallibility enacted in the creation of the "New Mass of the Reformation of the Catholic Church" in the 1500's during the Counter-reformation as a result of the council of Trent (Though modern priests fail to acknowledge it). In otherwords, Papal infallibility SHOULD and normally does work similarly to how the High Priest would speak on behalf of a vote by the elders of the Sanhedrin. At least that's what was taught to me by one of my old managers who was an Orthodox Jew (The Jewish part obviously not the Catholic part). As far as I am to understand it's all functionally similar. Even Paul/Saul wrote in Christian Scripture reaffirming Jewish Tradition by stating that not even angels dare to overturn the decision held by a council. Obviously the motivations for formalizing this long held belief were only enacted when the belief itself was challenged; this has been par for the course for two millenia. I am not saying that the motivations for the Church codifying Papal infallibility were correct but generally things don't get written down until there is such a deterioration that there a necessity to do so in order that no one forgets, much like how the Oral Law according was transcribed after the fall of the Second Temple.

I truly enjoyed this, the amount of work you put into it and overall, other than some minor details, the accuracy of your research. However on a personal "and admittedly pedantic" point, calling the House of Savoy realm the Kingdom of Sardinia was slightly irritating. PLEASE NOTE that this is more of an FYI for yourself and other viewers than a criticism. I don't actually blame you because thats the official name especially in English, but as an Italian speaker its kind of funny. In Italian, they are always called "Piemontesi" or Piedmontese. Largely due to the fact that Turin was the capital and everything of consequence was conducted in the mainland area's of the Kingdom, which at this point also included Liguria, therefore also Genoa. The island of Sardegna was, and still is to a great extent, mainly agricultural and isolated and was never a center of either political or popular power. Once again, thank you for this great video and the work that went into and especially the information and education that you are spreading to all.
