The document discusses the history of Jewish communities in Calabria, Italy from ancient times to World War II. It describes archaeological evidence that shows Jewish settlements existed in places like Reggio Calabria, Bova Marina, and Ferramonti during the Roman Empire and Middle Ages. The oldest synagogue in Europe after Ostia Antica was found at Bova Marina dating to the 4th century AD. Jews played an important role in trade and business for centuries until they were expelled from Calabria in 1541 and interned in Ferramonti concentration camp during WWII before being liberated. Archaeological findings provide insights into the mixed cultures that coexisted in the region.
The Phoenicians were enigmatic people, who left little in the way of written records. Much of what we know of them from ancient times was recorded by Greek and Roman historians who mentioned their seamanship and shrewd business dealings.

Phoenicia was an ancient civilization in Canaan which covered most of the western, coastal part of the fertile Crescent. Several major Phoenician cities were built on the coastline of the Mediterranean. It was an enterprising maritime trading culture that spread across the Mediterranean from 1550 BCE to 300 BCE.
Carthage was only one amongst several colonies which the Phoenicians planted along the coasts of the western Mediterranean.
The Carthaginians faced constant threats from the native inhabitants of the area which they had coloized, the Berbers (many of these would later become organized into the powerful kingdoms of Numidia and Mauritania, who, through their alliances with Rome, would help to overthrow Carthage before themselves succumbing to Roman power). From the outset, therefore, Carthage had to maintain itself as a military power.
The city seems to have started out as a dependency of Tyre, but later (c. 650 BCE) gained its independence.

Visit at the Archaeological Park in Bova Marinaetwinning2013
Visit of the students of ITT "Panella-Vallauri" in Reggio Calabria (Italy) at the Archaeological Park in Bova Marina for their studies about the Jewish Community in Calabria
This presentation features the story of the Jews from Salonika, Greece. Based on the testimony film about Holocaust survivor Ovadia Baruch, this learning environment delves into the food, culture, and religious aspects of prewar Greek Jewish life, and follows them through their deportation to concentration and death camps, mainly to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Focusing on interdisciplinary tools which can be used in the classroom, students can follow Ovadia through his life via film clips, while reading detailed descriptions of the prewar and Holocaust periods in Greece. In an effort to remember communities that were nearly wiped out by the Nazis, this educational aid will help teachers and students gain a better understanding of one particular community.
For almost five hundred years the Jews
of Salonika flourished. Their city was a
hub of European Jewry, a center for
Torah learning attracting students and
new residents from all over the world.
Cultural life also thrived in the forms of
journalism, theater, literature, and
music.
In this famous port city the Jews of
Salonika became renowned as workers
in related industries such as stevedores
as well as being craftsmen and artisans .
On the eve of World War II,
approximately 52,000 Jews lived in
Salonika. After the Holocaust only 2,000
of the Jews from this ancient
community remained alive.
The two most important trends of the early archaic period were the spread of Greek culture and the new governmental model of tyranny. Both had profound effects upon Greek history

European Age of Exploration
A World Map from Alberto Cantino, 1502
When we last left Europe, the Islamic trading influences had sparked a revolution of ideas in Italy that began to spread across the cultural centers of European kingdoms. The Italian Renaissance slowly spread across Europe, bringing new innovations in technology, art, music, scientific understanding, mathematics, and medicine. In turn these ideas had sparked the Reformation. However, by the sixteenth century, as the Reformation picked up steam and began spreading radical religious ideas throughout Christendom, already some European kingdoms had begun applying Renaissance inventions to new economic opportunities: Exploration.
The presence of patronage throughout royal courts had encouraged a stability of economies. This stability was called mercantilism – the economic doctrine that assumes government control of foreign trade is the most important element of ensuring prosperity for a given state. The idea is that trading partners need each other to prosper, so trading states are less likely to war with each other over minor details, lest that diminishes trade. The downside to mercantilism is that it can foster an atmosphere of such extreme competition between two or more states that other states end up falling prey to that intense rivalry. This is exactly what happened with cultures in Africa, North America, the Caribbean, and Mesoamerica. But the immediacy of stability caused by mercantilism contributed to the standing atmosphere of intellectual curiosity and increasing centralized governments to lead expeditions outside of European domains.
Portugal
The Portuguese had regained control over the Kingdom of Portugal in 1415, when conquering Christian forces had expelled the occupying Moors. Spain still had some years of fighting left to regain control over the remaining Iberian Peninsula, but Portugal began to set its affairs in order and set its sights on increased trade. Playing a key role in this development was Prince Henry the Navigator.
Prince Henry the Navigator extended Portuguese trade ports throughout the coasts of Africa and into India
Prince Henry was very religious and thought that exploring the African coastline might benefit Portugal in economic glory while benefitting African through conversion from mostly Islamic beliefs to Christian ideas. He established a navigation school to increase the knowledge of sailors. New techniques in ship-building allowed for longer journeys with more gods on board. He also spread the idea that courtly chivalrous honor could be achieved through behaviors off the battle-field. In addition to military glory, he thought, knightly behavior could be earned through intellectual exploration, religious piety and missionary work, and the adventure of journeying to places unknown. In the early 1400s, Portuguese sailors began sailing into ports along the African coast. They were there not as conquerors, but as traders.
And so, Portugues.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Jewish community in Calabria
1.
2. According to a legend, which
attests the presence of an
ancient Jewish community in our
region, Reggio was founded
by Aschenez, great-grandson of
Noah.
The first work in Hebrew was
printed in Reggio. At one of the
first print-works of the history
based on the Giudecca of
Reggio, in fact, the first version of
the Hebrew Bible was
born February 5, 1475 .
The oldest synagogue in Europe,
after that of Ostia Antica, is
in Bova Marina with its
rich mosaics of the fourth century
AD
3. In the Middle
Ages were many Jews who
settled in Calabria, but they were
finally driven out in 1541.
The Jews were not only present in
Reggio. There were giudecche
in Bova, San Lorenzo,
Motta San
Giovanni, Bagnara (1502-
1503), Pentidattilo,Sant‘ Eufemia
and in other towns of the
province.
After the final expulsion, the
Jews disappeared but
returned temporarily in the sad
circumstances in Ferramonti inter
nal camp during the Second World
War.
4. In Calabria there is the
largest concentration camp of
Italy, with a surface of 16 hectares,
located in the municipality
of Ferramonti of Tarsia, a town 35
kilometers from Cosenza.
Here thousands of Jews, stateless
persons, foreigners, whose only
crime was belonging to a hostile
nation or race or political beliefs
were interned during World War II
Fortunately this was not an
extermination camp, but an
internment and gathering
camp, which was built
like a concentration camp but,
ironically, represented a sort
of salvation for those who were
imprisoned. Ferramonti was the first
camp liberated by Allied troops.
5. During the modernization of
the national road along
the valley of the river San
Pasquale, the remains of an
ancient synagogue dated between
the fourth and sixth century
AD. came to light, accidentally, in
1986.
The site is in Bova Marina, a
small village on the Ionian
coast. It must be said that all the
synagogues stood near the
shore of the sea and Bova was no
exception, as well as the largest
synagogue in Italy, in
Ostia, because the sea was
the place through which the
trade took place and just
along the coast Jewish
settlements were born and
developed .
6. The building was formed by two
square rooms, the first was a
vestibule. In the other room a
mosaic floor is still
preserved. The floor is dated
back to the 4th century AD.
There are 16 squares delimited
by a double braid, in the midst
of which we see Solomon's knot,
the menorah, the shofar ...
cedar, palm leaf.
Near this floor a clay vessel with
thousands of coins was found.
They were certainly offered
by devotees. Upstream of the
Synagogue there are some
tombs that testify the presence
of two civilizations represented
by the Jewish synagogue and the
Roman ancient walls.
7. The local Jewish community certainly held a prominent
role with regard to the trade in the area along the lines of
the Mediterranean sea and land. This is demonstrated
by the several ceramic findings that prove the origin of
amphorae from the whole basin of Mare Nostrum
The area contains numerous traces that testify to the mix
of different cultures that developed in
Calabria. These archaeological investigations have made
it possible, in fact, to appreciate how this site of Magna
Grecia, during the Roman Empire, has developed the co-
existence between the local population
and observant of Jewish faith
8. In Castrovillari, the
ancient Via Giudecca, reminds
us the presence of a
large Jewish
community resident here at
least since the Swabian
time. Here the Jews were
merchants and artisans, and
they were very powerful, both
economically
and politically. The Jews left
the city in 1512.
Meanwhile, off
Calabria, the Giudecche were
turned into ghettos, from
which no Jew could get away.
9. Historical sources show that in the
area of Brancaleone, Bruzzano and
Ferruzzano around the year 1500,
some Jewish communities lived. In
particular, in Bruzzano and
Brancaleone, there were some real
giudecche. We suppose that their
"landing" on the Calabrian coast
took place in order to avoid the
persecutions of which they were
victims in the Middle East. The Jews
were dedicated to small business,
agriculture, processing of precious
and wear.
The place where Jews lived was
called "Judeca", and was located in
the back and low in the country. "
10. The term Giudecca identified the old Jewish
quarter of the city of Reggio Calabria. Many
and varied are the sources and archaeological
finds which testify to the existence of a Jewish
community in the city.
The ancient Giudecca stood near and outside
the city walls to the north of the city, where
now there is the area between the street
Biagio Camagna , the Corso Garibaldi and the
Via Fata Morgana . La Giudecca , being outside
the city walls , was connected with the
mainland through the "Gateway Anzana ."
The Jews had developed industries ,were
established in the city of Giudecca , had a
synagogue and a school , worked , dyed silk,
and had a print shop. In 1475 the commentary
on the Pentateuch Isaacide Solomon was
printed , through the work of the printer
Abraham, Isaac Garton . The Jews
distinguished themselves in another activity ,
rearing of silkworms and ,in conjunction with
this , there was the import of the mulberry tree
. Their silk was so excellent, with the changing
hues of indigo and pink , which was in demand
throughout the European continent and
beyond.Via giudecca
11. Many of them were from Spain, especially at a time when, with the
edict of March 31, 1492, Fernando and Isabella had expelled all
Jews from the domains of the crowns of Aragon
and Castile. Arrived in Reggio, they developed a feverish activity
aimed at raising flood defenses, modernizing and upgrading the
towers of the walls to oppose the ferocity of the barbarians and
their weapons, working with Reggini in fortifying the city. It was
during this period that the first printing were created, so
the Jewish publishing became more and more popular with the
transcription of the most important texts of Scripture.
12. It was in this context that the
Republic of Genoa and
Lucca conspired openly at the
Spanish authority against the
Jews, having an outlet for silk
from
Reggio, created problems to
their interests, until in
agreement, with
the Viceroy De Cardona,
obtained from the King a
decree of expulsion from all
over Calabria. They were
forced, therefore, due to
the severe penalties against
infringers, to go away,
and come out on July 25, 1511.
13. It came to light in a workshop in Reggio Calabria in
1475, at exactly twenty years from that one printed
by Gutenberg. A precious rarity preserved at the
Biblioteca Palatina in Parma.
