Via Mazzini

At the end of Piazza Trento Trieste is the start of Via Mazzini, the main street of the area where the Jewish Community lived, together with Via Vignatagliata and Via della Vittoria, which became the city’s Jewish ghetto starting from 1627. All the streets were delimited by gates that were closed at night to separate the Jewish Community from the rest of the citizens.At number 95 is the Synagogue complex, still the seat of the Jewish Community today.The name of this important street of the Jewish ghetto is recurrent in Giorgio Bassani’s work and also appears in the title of the third of the Five Stories of Ferrara, A Memorial Tablet in Via Mazzini.
