A historical tour that will wind through the places that witnessed an uninterrupted alternation of dramatic events and moments of rebirth of the Jewish community of Rome, which has been present for over two thousand years and whose troubled history has been identified with a well-defined area, in the heart of the city, the Jewish Quarter, which everyone still calls the Ghetto today. We will ideally follow the chronology of these events, moving from the Portico d'Ottavia through picturesque alleys, the last testimony of the narrow medieval layout of the Ghetto. Following the traces of a rich cultural heritage and traditions in the old Piazza Giudea and Piazza delle Cinque Scole, we will arrive at the urban changes of emancipation, embodied by the new Synagogue, to conclude in the places that were the scene of the Nazi round-up and even more recent deaths. Along our narrative we will also encounter many film locations: the Jewish Quarter, in fact, has always had a strong cinematic vocation.

Wonderful and Memorable Tour.

This was a wonderful tour with an extremely knowledgeable guide, Sara Terracina. The details Sara was able to give was so interesting and captivating. Sara was only too happy to answer any questions we had. Sara also does tours to other parts of Italy and if we had of known this, we would have engaged her to do other tours, but this was our last tour in Rome. I would definitely engage Sara next time we are in Rome.

What it’s like to live as a Jew in Rome historically and currently.

Sara was an excellent guide who explained the history of the Jews of Italy and how they came to be there. She was very knowledgeable about the persecution they lived under for many centuries to the current state of the Jewish Community. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to truly understand the Jewish history of the area.
