Found inProphet of renewal, 2022: ECIP title page (David Levi) ECIP introduction (Italian Jewish writer and politician David Levi (1816-1898); David Levi was born in Chieri, near Turin, Piedmont, the leading region of the Risorgimento national movement. He belonged to an upper middle-class traditional Jewish family that owned several businesses but was particularly active in textile production and commerce. He received a broad education both within his family and at Vercelli's famous "Foa College", a Jewish school that included both traditional Jewish subjects and secular ones, specifically Italian and classical culture. Thus, Levi was raised in a family that was deeply integrated into Piedmont's high-end society, enjoying "privileges" that were denied to most Jewish families, as Jews had not yet achieved civic equality in the Kingdom of Sardinia at the time of Levi's childhood and youth. However, early in life he abandoned the traditional and religious spheres of Judaism)
