VERONA AND THE JEWISH COMMUNITY

140 €

Verona and the Jewish Community

The Jews lived in the most ancient part of the city centre and documents dating back since the 10th century. As in other parts of Europe they were heavily taxed and controlled but also protected from the 15th century onward by the Venetian Republic.

We start in Piazza Brà and walk to the narrow streets of the “Ghetto” (the Italian name for “Jewish quarter”) where we will visit the Sinagogue.
Our tour leads us to Piazza Erbe and you will easily recognize the buildings lived in by this community and then we move to Piazza dei Signori because Cangrande Della Scala invited many artists, poets and painters to his court and among them also Manuel Giudio.

The tour ends near Palazzo Sebastiani which houses the city library. Along the way we will tell you about the historical events, the characteristics of Jewish life in Verona from their first arrival in town to the present day.
This itinerary offers many surprises and we will also be able to show you views of forgotten corners of the town, unexpected buildings and references about the ancient Jewish culture.
