The Ghetto

Our Senate proposes to confine the Jewish community of Capital to a single walled island, its gates locked at night and guarded by day, its residents permitted out only under strict conditions. Supporters call it a sensible middle path between expulsion and unrestricted settlement; the Jewish merchants and moneylenders whose credit Capital has long depended on call it something considerably less flattering.

historical_info = d009_sephardi_diaspora.3.historical_info Venice established its Jewish ghetto in 1516, confining the community to the Cannaregio district's Ghetto Nuovo, gated and guarded at night. The word ghetto itself originates from this Venetian quarter, likely from the Venetian word for the copper foundry (geto) previously located there, and the model of enclosed, state-mandated Jewish quarters spread to other cities in Italy over the following century.
