Repository
of the historical, cultural and artistic patrimony
of the ghetto, where
the Roman Jews
were forced to live from the mid 15th century
to the end of the 19th century, the Museum of Jewish
Art was created in 1960 with the collection and
classification of ritual objects and documentary materials
originating mainly from the demolition of the old Jewish
schools or centres of worship (the Catalan,
the Sicilian, the 'scuola nuova', the
'scuola del Tempio' and the Castilian).
The suppression
of the five schools coincided with the construction
of the current imposing synagogue in AssyrianBabylonian
style between 1901 and 1904.
Designed
by Vincenzo Costa and Osvaldo Armanni,
it was immediately filled with manuscripts and
incunabula, archive materials, ritual
silverware and precious cloths, as well as
the original decorations, which have been preserved
as the "Temple wardrobe" in accordance with the
explicit wishes of the Jewish community: a rich
store of various materials which bears witness to the
everyday life and practices of worship of Rome's
historic Jewish community.
In addition
to the ritual objects and cloths still used for liturgical
purposes, allowing for the display to be continually
modified, a large section of the Museum is also
devoted to the tragedy of the persecutions, which began
with the famous papal bull of 1555, under which
Paul IV made residence compulsory in the area
between Ponte Quattro Capi, Portico d'Ottavia,
Piazza Giudla and the Tiber, and culminated
in the Nazi repression.
The most
recent items include the account by the president,
Ugo Foa, of the expropriations suffered by the
community in 1943, some receipts from the confiscation
of gold, some of the police files on the
Jews imprisoned in Via Tasso and a prayer
book perforated by shrapnel from the bombs
thrown into the crowd on 9 October 1982. (mm)
