What did Wikipedia remove from the History of the Jews in Livorno article?

The opening as it read in 2010

The Jewish community of Livorno , although the youngest among the historic Jewish communities of Italy, was for some time the foremost because of the wealth, scholarship, and political rights of its members.¹ The first traces of a Jewish settlement are found about 1583. The endeavors of the Medici to promote the growth of the city and of the harbor brought in many new settlers; and Spanish Marranos also found a refuge there in 1590. In 1591, and again in 1593, a charter of Ferdinando I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany assured all persons desiring to settle at Livorno, including Jews, the most extensive rights and privileges. Many Jews were attracted by this promise; and the community of Pisa received the privilege of founding a branch at Livorno with a synagogue and cemetery. In 1597 the Jews of Livorno received as a community autonomous rights, and the synagogue was built in 1603.²

The history of the Jews in Livorno (Liorne or Liorna in Ladino ), Italy has been documented since 1583, when descendants of the late 15th-century expulsions from Spain and Portugal settled in the city. They were settled initially by Sephardic Jews from Pisa . The Jewish community of Livorno , although the youngest among the historic Jewish communities of Italy, was for some time the foremost: its members achieved political rights and wealth, and contributed to scholarship in the thriving port city. Numerous Jewish schools and welfare institutions were established. Livorno traded with northern Europe and the Levant but declined in the later 19th century after losing its status as a free port. From a peak estimated population of 10,000 Sephardic Jews during that period, by 1904 a total of 3,000 Jews remained in Livorno, many having emigrated to other cities and nations.
