Ghetto

Ghetto : The Michelin guide review

This word evokes older and more recent horrors, but the Ghetto was first of all a neighborhood in Venice. Its taller buildings stand out, taller because Jews were forced to remain there no matter how much their population increased. Nowadays, the unique atmosphere in this quarter is present through signs written in Hebrew, shops selling Kosher products and, in particular, the five synagogues that point to the diversity of the origins of the Venetian members of the Diaspora.
