Enjoy a tour of this emblematically Jewish city with your ultimate Jewish history guide. Jews have been part and parcel of the fabric of Italian society for twenty-two centuries. Throughout history, they were expelled over and over again, marginalized, and made to live in ghettos, including in Bologna, where they were expelled twice. But they were welcomed by the Estense of Ferrara, where there is a large, thriving community, and this tour provides background from the Roman era while explaining how they are well integrated.
