Biographical summary Augusto Yoel Levi was born in Ancona, Italy, in 1888 and studied law in Modena. He fought as a rank and file soldier in the Libyan War (1911-1912) and later as an officer in the First World War, during which he was wounded and decorated with the Cross of Merit. After the war he was appointed judge and then legal consultant in Florence. Levi joined the Zionist movement in Italy, and became President of Keren Hayesod and the Italian Zionist Federation. He participated in the Zionist congresses in Lucerne (1935) and Zurich (1937). In 1938, due to the racial laws, he emigrated to Palestine together with his family and became involved both in academia and in industry.
