The Island City of Venice
Okay . . . one picture of me on my travels. Behind me is a typical canal in Venice. Travel is either by foot over the many, many bridges, or by water taxi through the maze of canals.
The original "ghetto" was in Venice, where the Jewish population was confined to a very small section of the city. In the middle of this photo on the top floor, you can see a small wooden building that was the synagogue.
A person doesn't have to go to Pisa to see leaning towers . . . this is one of several in Venice. Did I mention the government is at work trying to keep the city from sinking?

Hi everyone,
To keep your memories of the Jewish Ghetto of Venice fresh, have a look of the website http://www.ghetto.it
Have fun :-)
Hi -
that photo of the Ghetto Synagogue is amazing; where does it come from? I run an early music ensemble, and we have a concert coming up - a program of Italian-Jewish Renaissance music - and I would love to use that photo in our program, May we? We would credit you in the program as well.
