The Jewish festivities and traditions, the historical milestones of a millenary people, the civil life and the relationship with Italy and with the Venetian society.
For several years, even in the rich variety of essays published in Italy on Jewish traditions, the necessity of a book picturing in a lively and at the same time accurate way, the foundations of Jewish life in Italy and in Venice.
