Ebreo a passeggio nel Ghetto.

The Ghetto was the circumscribed area near San Geremia, which, from 1516, isolated and segregated the Jewish community from the rest of the Venetian population. There are three areas: the ​Gheto Vechio,​ the ​Novo ​and finally the ​Nuovissimo,​ which only opened in 1633.

Despite the continuous influx of tourists, it’s still possible to feel a strong sense of belonging, commemoration and closeness to the victims of the genocide even today, with numerous plaques as testament to what occured.
