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 [it].^[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, 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 [Wikidata], 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]
