The Italian prayer rite is among the few that retained significant vestiges of the pre-Crusader Palestinian rite. It is also characterised by a deep interest in liturgical poetry and midrashic compilations in common with the Roman prayer rite. In this rite, “the exegetical and liturgical interests of the two major centers are seen to come together nicely.” S.C. Reif, Judaism and Hebrew Prayer (1993), pp. 164-5
