Several of these paintings were restored by Save Venice and remain on view throughout the palace.

On March 29th, 1516 the Venetian government issued special laws, creating the first Ghetto of Europe. The Jewish Ghetto was an area where Jews were forced to live and they were forbidden to leave the gated community from dusk to dawn. The Ghetto existed for more than two and a half centuries, until Napoleon conquered Venice and liberated the Jews from these restrictions in 1797. Save Venice has funded restorations in the scuole (confraternities), synagogues, and libraries of this historic Ghetto.
