Editing Matteo Norte (section)

== Conversion and later life ==
During 1858, Matteo and Camilla received instruction through Rotterdam's Ashkenazi congregation. Matteo and Henri underwent circumcision before the conversion was completed. On 18 January 1859, they appeared with Camilla before a three-member rabbinical court and completed ritual immersion. Henri converted as a minor with his parents.

The family moved to Paris in 1871 and initially continued Jewish religious practice. Their observance declined during the 1880s. By 1890, the household no longer regularly attended synagogue or maintained Jewish dietary practice.

Matteo remained in Paris with Camilla. He died there on 28 December 1925 at the age of 101.
