I spent a month in Florence, Italy, during the summer of 2022, discovering evidence of the Mercato Vecchio and the Jewish Ghetto that existed in the Renaissance city until the end of the 19th century. Italian publications such as Silvano Fei’s Firenze 1881-1898 illuminated the changes in the last 150 years that have altered Florence’s historic center.
