April 16, online event

After five years, the #ItaliaEbraica project is renewed and becomes Jewish Italy around the world. Each month we will get to know a new museum and discover the paths that connect distant places with our ‘Jewish Italy.’
Each International Jewish Museum will present online on Zoom an object or a masterpiece from its collection that tells a part of Italian history.

The sixth meeting will be held on zoom on Thursday, April 16 at 6:30 (CET) and it will be dedicated to the presentation of The Jewish Museum of Greece (JMG).

This lecture will present a rare illuminated manuscript from Venice part of the JMG Historical Collection acquired in 1994. The manuscript, dated 1642-1724, besides its historical value on the attitude of Venetian Authorities towards the petition of the Jewish Community of Corfu for protection against vandalisms, holds a very interesting artistic allure. The manuscript depicts in its 44 pages coat of arms, full page miniatures and Moses holding the Tables of the Covenant (verso) amongst others.

Greetings from Amedeo Spagnoletto – Director of MEIS

Speakers:

Rabbi Gabriel M. I. Negrin – Chief Rabbi of the Jewish Community of Athens 
Anastasia Loudarou – Curator (JMG)
 

The meeting will be in English with simultaneous translation into Italian.
