These recently-discovered objects provide a window through which to view the situation of Roman Jewry in the 18th C (discussed in 2 essays on life in the ghetto by Silvia Haia Antonucci and Claudio Procaccia, and Giancarlo Spizzicino), its relationship with the Pope, and its and participation in the papal “procession ceremony” in particular (essay by Daniela Di Castro). Detailed descriptive entries. 30 items. |
