We will trace the fascinating history of Florence's Jewish Community from the early 1300's to today: from the Republic of Florence to the Medici to Mussolini and up to day. We'll also see some of Florence's most important monuments and hidden treasure as we walk through the city center from the "Oltr'arno" area - where the first community was centered - to the present day synagogue built in the 1880's. Florence's community, although quite small, only about 900 people, still thrives steeped the ancient history of the city. We'll have a chance to weave into our tour, notions of general local history and the stories of famous local people who effected the lives of the Jews in Florence. As we go, we'll also see some of the art that made Florence famous and see Jewish inscriptions and symbols on important buildings and even churches! The highlight of the tour is the visit to Florence's synagogue one of the most beautiful in all of Europe. This tour is not available on Saturdays or Friday afternoons.
