To visit Florence is like
reading an unfinished book made of buildings, sites, memorial plaques, artworks
as well as live people. Florentine Jews have contributed to the writing
of this book since the beginning of the Renaissance. Together we will ‘read’
this living, ongoing history by visiting historic sites of special interest
to Jews during these unique tours that I have designed for you.

Jewish Florence half-day tour
(3 hours)
I will introduce you to the history of Florence and take you to see the
beautiful Synagogue and the Jewish Museum.
Through a walking tour to the city center you will discover the unexpected
presence of Jewish history from the XV to the XIX Century in some of the
most famous landmarks such as Piazza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio,
the Duomo area and Piazza della Repubblica, where
the ghetto once stood.

Jewish Florence full-day tour

In addition to the half-day tour together we visit the very interesting
old Jewish Cemetery of Florence with tombs of XVIII-XIX
Centuries and the Museo Firenze Com'era on history of Florence,
which houses paintings and a model, that describe Florence’s ghetto
in the late XIX Century. At this point in time this tour is available
only on the 1st Sunday am of each month, when the Cemetery is open, otherwise
it a very high cost for private opening is required.
