Sometimes the cemeteries are the only possible way to remember the presence in the past centuries of ancient communities now disappeared.
The Republic of Venice gave the Jews the possibility to create a cemetery of their own in 1386, giving them a non cultivated, piece of land in St. Nicholas of Lido. Call our call centre and book your visit!
The fall of the Venetian Republic, the foreigner occupations and the consequent vandalistic acts, as well as the atmospheric agents brought to the disappearance of many monuments and to the ruin of the Jewish cemetery.
In 1938 (promulgation of Italian Racial laws) the cemetery was definitely abandoned.
In 1999 a big work of restoration has begun and now this suggestive place, witness of centuries of Venetian Jewish History, has found again its dignity and is possible to visit it.
