Additional Material

Reflections on Residence (or “Risiedo: The State of Repeated Sitting”)
Our interdisciplinary approach suggested that there were many ways to understand how and why the status of the Jews fluctuated during four centuries of Venetian ghetto life. We examined their unique history by studying the built environment, commercial relationships, social behaviour, intellectual contributions, religious worship, musical traditions, as well as both artistic and literary productions in which Jews were sometimes, but not always, depicted with derision.
