Abstract:
A revised version of a paper presented at the congress "Integrazione e identità", Roma, November 1993. Discusses antisemitic trends in Italy between 1870-1915. A Catholicism-based antisemitism prevailed during the 1870s, followed by a public debate on Jews and antisemitism between 1880-1900. Gives examples of antisemitic expressions, many of them published in the Italian press. Francesco Pasquaglio raised the question of dual loyalty of the Jews in 1873 (e.g. in regard to the finance minister candidate I.P. Maurogonato); Paolo Mantegazza and Guglielmo Ferrero denounced Jews as alien to the national spirit and to European civilization; F. Coppola fulminated against Jewish "plutocracy" and "cosmopolitanism" in 1911. States that in this period there was no political antisemitism in Italy, but that these expressions of antisemitism constituted the basis of political antisemitism after 1918.
