About the Work

To commemorate the 500th anniversary of the establishment of the Venice Ghetto, the exquisite Ultimate Collection volume acquaints readers with the historical and spiritual significance of the five primary synagogues in Venice, which represent the most significant markers of Jewish faith and culture in the Most Serene Republic. Located behind the walls of the Ghetto, these synagogues exhibit the strong ties that Venetian Jews maintained with the customs of their ancestors. The architecture, furnishings, and decorations were influenced by their varied countries of origin and the traditions of Venetian artistic culture, resulting in timeless monuments that continue to be regarded with reverence and admiration in the City on the Lagoon. The volume is beautifully hand-bound.

About the Author

Umberto Fortis, a former professor of Jewish-Italian literature at the University of Rome and curator of the Jewish Museum of Venice, is a prolific author in the field of Jewish studies. He has written extensively, including works such as La parlata del ghetto di Venezia e le parlate giudeo-italiane (Florence, 2006) and La vita quotidiana nel Ghetto: Storia e società nella rappresentazione letteraria (Leghorn, 2012), and has edited various books on antisemitism.

Laziz Hamani, known for his talent in lighting and studio techniques, has produced work for the world’s most prestigious luxury brands. Despite his success in the studio, he finds it necessary to work on location to achieve a more spontaneous style. Hamani has published over thirty books on lifestyle, art, and luxury, including more than twenty titles with Assouline, and has curated several exhibitions of his personal work.

"Assouline is more than a publishing house, it is a lifestyle brand."
