Old Prejudices, New Realities: Italian Jewelry and the Changing Faces of Antisemitism
The conference explores the historical depth and contemporary transformations of antisemitism through the specific lens of Italian Jewish experience. Moving between past and present, the discussion examines how long-standing prejudices were able to translate into persecution, and why antisemitism has proven so resilient across different political, social, and cultural contexts. By tracing antisemitic narratives from modern Italy to the present day, the event invites the audience to reflect on the mechanisms that made exclusion and violence possible, as well as on the ways antisemitism continues to operate today, often in subtle, rebranded, and seemingly legitimate forms. Far from being a relic of the past, antisemitism adapts to new realities, embedding itself in contemporary discourse, public debate, and political language.
The evening aims to foster critical reflection on memory, responsibility, and awareness, encouraging a deeper understanding of how historical prejudices persist and why recognizing their modern manifestations remains an urgent cultural and civic task.
