My husband and I along with our friends were treated to a wonderful tour of the Jewish Ghetto in Rome. Jews have been in Rome since the time of Caesar, we learned. We also learned about the treatment of the Jewish population, and the meaning of many of the buildings and the history which we had been unfamiliar with. The synagogue is definitely worth visiting. Our guide was Micaela Pavoncello, and she was wonderful. She is very knowledgable and her English is fluent. Her family has been in Rome for centuries. We would highly recommend you take this tour. You can find her on the internet under [--].
