Curated by Piergabriele Mancuso, Alice S. Legé, and Sefy Hendler, the exhibit at the Pitti Palace in the fall of 2023, titled The Jews, the Medici and the ghetto of Florence, was quite a find after trying to piece together information about the plan for the demolished Ghetto of Florence, Italy. The ghetto plans and sections provide a comprehensive understanding of the ghetto entrances, the location of the two synagogues, and the stairways leading to the various upper floors. The videos, with English subtitles, make the disappearance of the Ghetto’s foundations come to mind for those visiting the Piazza della Repubblica today who want to recall the Jewish influence in the center of Florence one hundred and sixty years ago.
