Italy: New Interactive Jewish Heritage Maps

Italy’s Foundation for Jewish Cultural Heritage has launched interactive maps of Jewish heritage sites in Italy.

One map pinpoints a variety of sites and provides basic information.

Another provides more detailed information on  “unmissable” sites in  and around a handful of  towns and cities  — Venice, Florence, Rome, Bologna, Casale Monferrato, Monte San Savino, Siena and Trieste.

The project is a work in progress designed to include ever more information on the synagogues, Jewish cemeteries, former ghettos and Jewish quarters, mikvahs and other sites of Jewish heritage found in all parts of Italy.

The maps will become part of the European Routes of Jewish Heritage project of the AEPJ, or European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage.
