Wonderfully informative of Jewish heritage and history in Padua. Must-see for visitors interested in Judaica. In the area of the ancient Paduan ghetto near Piazza delle Erbe, the museum depicts the story of the Jewish community that intertwined with the city for centuries. Excellent with many displays, in a restored 16th-century Ashkenazi synagogue rebuilt in the 1990s after destruction by a fire set by fascists in 1943. We received a detailed extended tour in the museum and the nearby beautiful original Padua Synagogue. Our guide was totally knowledgeable and presented historical Jewish context and more recent aspects. We also viewed 2 powerful short movie documentaries about key Jewish personalities of significance to Italian history. Don’t miss this important counter-balance to the religious history of Italy.
