Jewish boy in 1858 helped to bring about the collapse of the popes' worldly power in
Italy.Bologna: nightfall, June 1858. A knock sounds at the door of the Jewish merchant
Momolo Mortara. Two officers of the Inquisition bust inside and seize Mortara's sixyear-old
son, Edgardo. As the boy is wrenched from his father's arms, his mother
collapses. The reason for his abduction: the boy had been secretly
"bapized"by a family servant. According to papal law, the child is
therefore a Catholic who can be taken from his family and delivered to a special

one boy's kidnapping became a pivotal event in the collapse of the Vatican as a secular
power. The book evokes the anguish of a modest merchant's family, the rhythms
of daily life in a Jewish ghetto, and also explores, through the revolutionary campaigns
of Mazzini and Garibaldi and such personages as Napoleon III, the emergence of Italy

human tragedy changed the course of history.
