‘A Tale of Three Cities’ continues Cornell-NYC Center for Jewish History collaboration

Italy, land of piazzas and volcanoes, is also home to the oldest Jewish community in the Diaspora. Yet few readers outside of Italy know that some of the most important works of modern Italian literature were written by authors who are Jewish.  At 6:30 p.m. on Monday, May 1, Kora von Wittelsbach will explore how the work of these Italian-Jewish writers relates to modern Italian and world literature.
