The Portico d'Ottavia is the symbol of the Jewish Quarter of Rome (the Ghetto), as the area where the large portico complex stood coincided with the Jewish Ghetto, established in 1555. The building, rebuilt DA Augusto in honor of his sister Octavia, was built before the Ghetto and, in 1555, became one of the outer boundaries of the space reserved for the Roman Jewish community.

Vicolo Dell'Atleta
The small and winding alley was called Vicolo delle Palme, an “ancient” name that tells a page in the history of the Jewish community of Rome, present in the city since the second century BC.C. It is precisely in Trastevere, in the area between the Tiber Island, the basilica of Santa Cecilia and the church of San Francesco a Ripa, that traces of its settlement in the city around the year 1000 must be sought. This Giu DE cca – so in the Middle Ages the neighborhoods inhabited by Jews were indicated – is also witnessed by the Trasteverine toponymy of the time, including for example the street “de corte Judei” and the “pons Judaeorum”, or the Fabricio Bridge. Those who wander into the alley will find a beautiful medieval house waiting for them, the only one of the seven synagogues built in the district that remains. It was the lexicographer Nathan Ben Yehiel, belonging to one of the most prominent Roman Jewish families, who founded the synagogue at the end of the 11th century.

Tempio Maggiore di Roma
In the 19th century, Jews achieved, as in the rest of Europe, full emancipation and equalization of civil rights. DA now the Jewish Communities can erect, after centuries of limitations, monumental synagogues.
It was therefore decided to erect the most imposing synagogue in the city, the Great Temple, in the same district in which Jews had been locked up for centuries: in the area of the former ghetto, demolished and reclaimed as a result of the town plan of 1888. The winners of the competition for the design of the new synagogue were Osvaldo Armanni and Vincenzo Costa.
The Temple was inaugurated in 1904, the monumental building was surmounted DA a square-based dome, clad in aluminum. The interior, with an arrangement of the bimah (the pulpit) not exactly in keeping with the tradition of the “Roman Rite”, is richly decorated in the art nouveau style.
