JEWISH SALENTO TRAVEL GUIDE - Museo Ebraico - Jewish Museum Lecce

by F. Ghio and F. Lelli, edited by Capone Editore, 2022

This is your Guide to a journey not only in space but also in time. Our purpose is to contribute to the rediscovery of the role of Judaism in Salento, a role that has been totally hidden under the Baroque that surrounds us.

But also, from this strip of land we will see that the Jews, both individuals and their culture, contributed greatly to the regeneration of intellectual thought and daily life throughout the whole of the Western diaspora. So, our purpose is also to allow this past to take its rightful place in history for European Jewry today.
