His father, Elia Mimun, was originally from Cyrenaica, but the family had ancient Sephardic roots tracing back to the Spanish Inquisition, when their ancestors were forced to leave Spain and settled in North Africa. Vittorio\u2019s mother, Rosa Meiohas, was born in Jerusalem, but moved to Libya at the age of three, when Vittorio\u2019s grandfather was sent to Benghazi to manage the affairs of a large textile company. Elia Mimun also worked in the textile industry, serving as a representative for major Italian companies, ensuring that the family had a stable and comfortable life in Benghazi until 1942.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3e968952 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"3e968952\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-185cf422 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"185cf422\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;sticky&quot;:&quot;top&quot;,&quot;sticky_offset&quot;:100,&quot;sticky_parent&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;sticky_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;],&quot;sticky_offset_mobile&quot;:0,&quot;sticky_effects_offset&quot;:0,&quot;sticky_anchor_link_offset&quot;:0}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2876e660 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2876e660\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/trame.cdec.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/7-Mimun-scaled.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6Mjc5MCwidXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6XC9cL3RyYW1lLmNkZWMuaXRcL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjRcLzExXC83LU1pbXVuLXNjYWxlZC5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1630\" src=\"https:\/\/trame.cdec.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/7-Mimun-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2790\" alt=\"Elia Mimun, second from the right.
