summary

In 1796, Modena became part of the Cisalpine Republic, under French occupation. Moses Formiggini, a Jew, was named one of the “centumviri.” Our proclamation invites “all townsmen of the Hebrew Nation to form their primary assembly and elect officers in order to name their deputies.” Thus, the Jews of Modena were granted civil rights. See EJ, Vol. XII, col. 201
