23rd APRIL Did you know that Rimini hosted a
Jewish community in the past? And that the remains are still visible today? And that in the
16th century in Rimini used to live the
Soncinos, a famous Jewish family who
owned a printing press in a Rimini?
Come to Rimini to discover the little-known Jewish monuments and historical facts of the city. Departing from the
Visitor Center, in the street Corso d’Augusto n. 235, you will get to the
City Museum,which contains an important
Jewish inscription dating back to
1510, witnessing the inauguration of a
new synagogue. The tour proceeds through
via Bonsi until Sant’Onofrio, where once there was a fenced
Jewish,
ghetto with three main gates! Then pass, finally, to the district of
Santa Colomba, where there was one of the three synagogues in Rimini. Did you know that one of them was located in
Piazza Cavour, where now there is the
Old Fish Market?
Eventually, the tour will end at the restaurant
Augusta, where you will see in the gardena shrine with an inscription in Jewish, probably coming from the
Jewish cemetery which, according to a few scholars, was located beyond the
Sant’Andrea gate.
So, what are you waiting for? Discover the
Jewish Rimini!
