27 Sivan 5784 (2-3 July 2024)

(Queue failed again today and I didn’t check until now)

The fifty-sixth century brought great changes to European society, but did not fully remove old prejudices. And with reforms frequently came backlash and anger, directed at old scapegoats.

From 5525 to 5550, Peter Leopold of the Hapsburg dynasty ruled over Tuscany as Grand Duke. The wealthy and powerful of Florence, proud of their history and independence and attached to the traditional patronage of the Medici family were suspicious of this Austrian interloper. The fact that he sought to impose reforms aligned with the ideals of the Enlightenment only increased their skepticism.

Perhaps no reform drew the ire of established interests more than Leopold’s experiments in Jewish emancipation, which included extending his Jewish subjects the right to serve on town and city councils and to participate in the various scientific and academic societies of learning which had sprung up to promote rational study of natural phenomena.

In 5550, Peter Leopold’s elder brother the emperor Joseph II died, and he departed Florence for Vienna to take up the duties of emperor. The traditional powers of Florence saw in his departure a chance to regain their power and especially to take revenge on the Jews of Florence for the few newfound privileges they’d enjoyed under the Hapsburg Grand Duke, and gathered to attack the Jewish quarter on the 27th of Sivan 5550. However, the mob was stopped by the Catholic Archbishop of Florence, who had developed a friendship with rabbi Daniel Terni , who had assisted him in his efforts to compose a new translation of the Hebrew Bible into Italian. The archbishop was able to persuade the ruffians to disperse, and Florence’s Jews were saved from punishment for their association with an unpopular reformer. The Jewish community of Florence commemorated Sivan twenty-seventh as a localized second Purim, with a fast on the twenty-sixth and feast and celebration on the 27th.

As a soon-to-be-tourist around Tuscany, I've looked up some ticket options for Trenitalia, Italy's national railway, uh, undertaker, if that's the word.

Polish national railway lines used to have a tourist ticket (maybe they still do, I've never used it and I'm too lazy to look it up now). It was valid for a number of days, you could take any train, and if you needed to, you could buy a seat separately (some trains require that).

I could really use it on my oncoming holidays, if Trenitalia had something like this. It has a 7-days ticket for regional trains on a specific route, and it pays off if you use it six times (three round trips). But I plan to take trains all over Tuscany, so while buying that ticket for Pisa (where I'll have my base) - Florence (where I might go twice, and then once take a partial route for one change halfway through, to Siena) route might save me some money, it's not perfect, because I have plans to go to Lucca and La Spezia (on the way to the Cinque Terre villages/towns).

Anyway. A little over a week and here I come, Italy!
