These were mostly voluntary settlements \u2013 the \u201cgiudeccas\u201d \u2013 that were established for various reasons. The current street names, and to a greater extent those of the past, re-evoke their existence and locations.<\/div>\n<div class=\"mpfy-p-entry\">\n<p>Near the Roman amphitheatre (the ruins of which remained visible for the duration of the Middle Ages), along the axis of the ancient <em>Decumano Superiore<\/em> road \u2013 today\u2019s Strada dell\u2019Anticaglia \u2013 there is evidence of a V<em>icus Judeorum<\/em>, corresponding to what\u2019s now called Vico Limoncello. The main element which points to a Jewish settlement around this lane \u2013 and is still partially legible in its original route \u2013 is certainly its name. However, we do not know the period in which there was a Jewish neighbourhood in this area. The name \u201c<em>Judeorum<\/em>\u201d first appears in a document dated 1002, but this mention of the street might refer to a place name that had already fallen out of use even then. Nor is there any information regarding synagogues or ritual baths in this area, while there is evidence of numerous Christian institutions. Perhaps Jews had lived there from Roman times, or only from the Byzantine era, possibly after a period spent in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitjewishitaly.it\/en\/listing\/giudecca-of-san-marcellino\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">S.
