Carolina Luzzatto (née: Sabbadini; 1837–1919) was a journalist and writer from Austria-Hungary. She was one of the early female newspaper directors in Italy and was part of the irredentist liberal-national journalists of the period.[1][2]
She was born in Trieste on 29 November 1837 to the Sabbadini family of Jewish religion and of Sephardic origin.[3] She was the eldest daughter of Isach Sabbadini and Stellina Estella Norsa, originally from Mantua.[3] Philosopher Carlo Michelstaedter was her nephew.[1] She was educated by Marco Tedeschi who was her relative and the chief rabbi of the Jewish community in Trieste.[3]
She married Girolamo Luzzatto Coen in 1856 and moved to Gorizia.[4] She started her literary career in 1868 by publishing children's books[2] and continued her activity until 1875.[5] She directed the newspaper L’Isonzo from 1878 to 1880 and became the director of the newspapers Il Raccoglitore and L’Imparziale in 1880.[1] She was the director of the newspaper Il Corriere di Gorizia between 1883 and 1889 and of the newspaper Il Corriere Friulano between 1901 and 1914.[1][4] She also worked for different publication as their correspondent in Gorizia, including Il Piccolo, Patria del Friuli and Le Pagine Friulane.[1] From 30 January 1870 she contributed to a women's magazine entitled La Donna.[4]
In 1915 Luzzatto was arrested at age 78 due to her commitment to the irredentist cause.[3] She jailed in the Göllersdorf and then in Ober Hollabrunn.[3] She died on 24 January 1919 in Gorizia shortly after she was released from the prison.[3] She was buried at the Valdirose cemetery in the Nova Gorica suburb of Rožna Dolina.[6]
