Luzzatto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luzzatto (Hebrew: לוצאטו) or Luzzatti was a family of Italian-Jewish Talmudic scholars, whose genealogy can be traced back to the first half of the sixteenth century. According to a tradition communicated by S. D. Luzzatto, the family descends from a German Jew who immigrated into Italy from the province of Lausitz, and who was named after his native place ("Lausatia", "Lausiatus" = "Luzzatto"). The name "Luzzatti", which one branch of this family bears, is the plural form of Luzzatto. There is also the form "Luzzati", among Jews from the Piedmont region. The German rite is credibly reported to have been observed in the family synagogue (Scuola Luzzatto) in Venice.
The earliest member of the family of whom there is record is one Abraham Luzzatto, who lived at Safed at the beginning of the sixteenth century. His descendants may be grouped with some degree of probability in the following pedigree:
