The synagogue in Via Stretta was built after the\u00a0ghetto<\/a>\u00a0was instituted (1633) to replace the\u00a0ancient synagogue<\/a>\u00a0previously used, which was outside the area of reclusion.\u00a0The building is the result of the amalgamation of existing parts specially adapted for the new function.\u00a0As always in the ghettos, no external element identifies the building, both for reasons of safety and of imposed regulation.\u00a0There are three doors in the front wall: one on the right that leads down to the well and the oven for baking the unleavened Passover bread;\u00a0 one in the centre, leading straight to the vestibule of the synagogue, and\u00a0one on the left, leading up the large gallery reserved for the women, which runs at half-height along the left wall of the hall.\u00a0The furnishings in the hall, which came from the ancient synagogue<\/a>, include a precious Renaissance aron<\/em>dating back to the second half of the 15th Century, which is today on display at\u00a0the Jewish Museum in New York<\/a>.\u00a0A brief description of the aron<\/em> appears in a manuscript from 1704. The present-day appearance of the synagogue is the result of a major renovation project completed in 1857, which took place in the climate of emancipation that was gradually developing in that period.\u00a0The\u00a0aron<\/em>\u00a0was replaced with a circular columned shrine structure in neoclassic style, in keeping with the new surrounding decor.\u00a0The new tevah<\/em> was placed on the opposite wall, according to the customary bifocal layout.\u00a0It is said that the archbishop himself, with whom the president of the Community had a relationship of mutual esteem, suggested\u00a0which manufacturers to use for the decoration of the synagogue.\u00a0This would explain, in fact, the similarities of style between some of the ornamental motifs in the cathedral and stuccoes of the apse and the trabeation that connects with the vault of the synagogue.<\/p>\n
