«Histoire du ghetto de Venise» is the historical essay by Riccardo Calimani, published by Denoël in paperback (368 pages, in French).
In 1516, a Venetian decree forced Jews to concentrate in the foundry district —«ghetto» in the Venetian dialect—, the first ghetto in history. Calimani traces the life of this community of Talmudists, merchants, doctors and poets who contributed to the development of the Serenissima and left a mark on the memory of the Jewish people.
Originally published in Italian in 1987, it was translated into French by Salvatore Rotolo. It belongs to Denoël's «Documents Histoire» collection.
For readers interested in the history of Venice, Jewish culture and the fate of Jewish communities in Europe.
