Italy: Where Jewish Heritage Meets Renaissance Splendor
Italy’s Jewish community is one of the oldest in Europe: dating back over 2,000 years. From the Jewish catacombs of Rome to the five synagogues of Venice’s original Ghetto, Italy offers a richness of Jewish heritage unmatched on the continent.
Jewish Heritage Highlights
- Rome: Walk through the Jewish Ghetto, visit the Great Synagogue overlooking the Tiber, and explore the Jewish Museum of Rome
- Venice: Tour the five historic synagogues in the world’s first “ghetto” (the word originated here)
- Florence: Visit the magnificent Tempio Maggiore and trace the Medici family’s complex relationship with the Jewish community
- Pitigliano: Discover “Little Jerusalem,” a Tuscan hill town where Jews lived for over 400 years
