“Rapito” is the story of Edgardo Mortara, a young Jewish boy living in Bologna who, in 1858, after being secretly baptized, was forcibly taken from his family to be raised as a Christian. His parents’ struggle to free their son became part of a larger political battle that pitted the papacy against forces of democracy and Italian unification.
