The Ghetto of Venice and its treasures of identity

Enhance the ancient Jewish ghetto of Venice and its treasures, starting with the five synagogues and the museum currently undergoing restoration. This is the objective of an agreement signed between the Jewish community and Opera Laboratori, one of the most important Italian entrepreneurial realities in the cultural sector. At the heart of the agreement is the creation of multimedia supports, an integrated IT platform for reservations and advance sales, a website and a dedicated call center as well as exhibitions and initiatives, new paper and virtual guides that will allow the visitor experience to be completed .
A collaboration that looks far ahead, says the president of the Venetian Jewish community Dario Calimani. “The new Jewish Museum – he notes in fact – requires that new activities and initiatives be developed right now, which are capable of awakening new interest around the Ghetto of Venice and its history. Due to the great experience it has acquired at a national level, Opera Laboratori is able to open up new managerial paths and new cultural projects that will allow a modern use of the treasures of Jewish Venice”. Beppe Costa, president of Opera Laboratori, defines it as “an honor to be able to collaborate with the Jewish community of Venice in a historical place such as the first ghetto in Europe: we do it on tiptoe thanks to specialized professionals in the management and enhancement of realities that they are very different from a museum tout court but equally rich in history, art and tradition”. The goal, also through the technical and restoration laboratories available, is to offer “added value to monuments and collections that speak to the heart as well as the eyes”.
