It serves as both a scholarly record and a practical guide to the synagogues, cemeteries, and ghettos that have shaped the region's urban and social fabric for centuries. The text moves beyond the well-documented Ghetto of Venice to explore the broader regional landscape, including the Jewish history of Padua, Verona, Vittorio Veneto, Treviso, Conegliano, Este, Piove di Sacco, Portobuffolé and Rovigo. The narrative traces the presence of Jewish communities from the medieval period, through the establishment of formal ghettos in the 16th century, to the profound losses of the 20th century. A portion of the work is dedicated to the artistic and architectural legacies of these communities. It provides a look at the interior of the Venetian synagogues (the Scole), the specific Venetian-Byzantine and Baroque influences on Jewish sacred art, and the unique layout of the region's ancient cemeteries. The volume is richly illustrated with full-colour photography and maps, documenting ritual objects and the physical remains of the Jewish quarters. It remains an essential resource for researchers of Italian Jewish history and travellers seeking a deep understanding of the region's multicultural past.…
