Abstract
The Interdizioni Israelitiche, written between the November 1835 and March 1836, took part in the European debate about the “outsiders”, especially Jewish. Carlo Cattaneo was inspired by an event that caused interest on contemporary press: two French Jews have bought land in Canton of Basel, but the contract was revoked, because the local laws forbade Jews landed property. By this judicial controversy the great Italian began to discuss about malfeasances against Jewish and their hard road to emancipation. Interdizioni Israelitiche is today a very important work where Cattaneo, inclined to agree to guarantee equal rights among men, uphold his thesis on objective data and facts. This critical edition wants to offer new and unknown viewpoints about this work that glamorizes the cultural survey of our Risorgimento. The used sources are Cattaneo’s manuscript and his scrutiny of documents collected at the Museum of Risorgimento in Milan, cartella 14, plico II documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
