The Venetian Jewish Ghetto From the internet, many Jewish merchants and moneylenders visited and worked in the city beginning with the 10th century. Jews were mentioned in documents in 945 and 992 forbidding Venetian captains from accepting Jews onboard their ships. In 1252, Jews were not allowed to settle in the main part of the city, so they settled on the island of Spinaulunga (also spelled Spinalonga) which later became Giudecca. In 1516, the doges, Venice’s ruling council, debated whether Jews should be allowed to remain in the city. They decided to let the Jews remain, but their residence would be confined to Ghetto Nuova. Jews from the Levant, who practiced Sephardic traditions, moved into Ghetto Vecchio in 1541. The Spanish and Portuguese Jews also came to Venice in the late 16th century and were the strongest and wealthiest community in the ghetto.

The magic of Epiphany is repeated, every year - as per French tradition - the Gallette des Rois is proposed, an exceptional dessert prepared only for this occasion. On the web you can find recipes. The dessert comes with a ceramic character and the crown for the king and queen that should be worn by those who find the character hidden in the gallette. The dessert is great. Also tried other pastries of the house and coffee with very good results. Note that the dessert is also ordered by Venetians and not only by French guests in Venice.
