Prominent posek R. Yishmael HaCohen (1724-1810) succeeded his brother R. David HaCohen as Rabbi of Modena - a notable center of rabbinic learning of 18th century Italy. R. Yishmael held the position of Rabbi and leader of Modena for decades, during which time his rulings were conclusive in all matters affecting Italian Jews.
