We searched something to have an Italian evening experience and found Concerti del Tempietto. It started with a short guided tour to Teatro di Marcello and ended with a magical piano concert surounded by old buildings, blue sky, birds and piano sounds! It was truly a magical experience! Our guide was very excited to explain everything in details, even when we were only two english speaking people in the group. We are very thankful for a great guideded tour!

The “Tempio Maggiore di Roma” is one of the lesser known landmarks of Rome and Italy. Did you know that Jews are the oldest continues group to inhabit Rome, predating Christianity! This Synagogue was built after the reunification of Italy, and more than just the importance for the Jewish Community, it is a representation the end of the internal fights between the Papal States control over the inhabitants of Rome, and foreign Monarchs and the beginning of the modern nation of Italy composed on citizens of this multicultural peninsula. The Jewish Museum housed below the Synagogue shows how the Jewish community has been able to maintain their culture and traditions in spite of the Papal States bigotry, racism, and limited access to employment. It is also a museum to the Jewish people and religion and how they have coped through the centuries. In the 1800’s before the opening of the Ghetto by the Italian unification forces composed of the Garibaldian and Piedmont forces, The Jews of Ghetto lived in deep poverty, but by holding onto their religious and cultural tradition there were no illiterate Jew in Ghetto, they could all read and write. Meanwhile illiteracy was rampant in the rest of Rome, Italy and Europe. The strive to live and survive has never left. Make sure to visit the Synagogue as well as it is unique, different from the churches of Rome, and different from most Synagogues in the rest of the world. It is beautiful, grand. Hey, we are still in Italy! Once done, make sure to try the Judeo-Romanesco (Jewish Roman Cuisine) food which is famous among Italians.

Visiting the Jewish quarter, the Portico and the Marcelo theatre was one of our highlights from our trip. A relaxed atmosphere, we loved strolling around the area. We also appreciated the many plaques referencing the deportations of 1943. We had a snack at one of the Kosher restaurants, chickpea soup which was delicious. Really recommend a visit to the area.
