Did you realize the term ‘ghetto’ is a local Venetian phrase?
I will guide you to identify the concealed synagogues from their exteriors, and shed light on the despair of the deportations and how the Holocaust inflicted a profound scar on my cherished Venice. Together, we will traverse the district of Cannaregio, with its gorgeous streets and Venetian ‘high-rises’. We will traverse exquisite bridges adorned with the locals’ laundry, in true Italian fashion.
