Jewish Italy in the World – Jewish Cultural Quarter of Amsterdam

After five years, the #ItaliaEbraica project is revamped and becomes Jewish Italy in the World.
Each month, we’ll explore a new museum and discover the paths that connect distant places with our “Jewish Italy.”
International Jewish museums will present an object or artwork from their collections online via Zoom that tells a story of Italy’s history.
The final event of this season will be held on Thursday, May 14, at 6:30 p.m. (Italian time) and will be dedicated to the Jewish Cultural Quarter of Amsterdam.
In the Jewish Cultural Quarter, you can retrace over 400 years of Dutch Jewish history, culture, and heritage, spread across five locations. Thanks to the international character and history of Amsterdam’s Jewish community, the collections also include objects from around the world. In this presentation, curator Lisa de Goffau will guide you through Italy’s Jewish heritage, exploring the long-standing relationship between the communities of the Peninsula and Amsterdam.

Greetings from Amedeo Spagnoletto – Director of MEIS
Speaker: Lisa de Goffau – Curator (Jewish Cultural Quarter, Amsterdam)
