Campo de Ghetto Novo
"The Ghetto in Venice is an island in the Sestiere Cannaregio. It was the closed residential area for the Jewish population in Venice from the 16th century until its abolition in 1796 under Napoleon. The island is thus the namesake of all the ghettos of this era. In later centuries, the term is also applied to other institutions.
Until the end of the Republic in 1797, the Jews of Venice lived in cramped conditions separated from the rest of the population, but at the same time they enjoyed the protection of the Republic. Although they were taxed heavily, as was the case everywhere in Christian Europe, they were also granted protection in Venice from the Inquisition and the repressions that also occurred time and again in the lagoon city. Attacks by Christians against Jews were punished. Likewise, the responsible officials in the cities of the terra ferma, as Venice's territories on the adjoining Italian mainland were called, were punished if they tolerated attacks against Jewish inhabitants and did not sanction them on their own initiative. Venice's Jews thus enjoyed a legal security unique in Europe from the 16th century to the beginning of the 19th century. The Serenissima and its population did not participate in pogroms against its Jewish population.
The island of Gheto (Gheto Novo) is 105 meters long and 93 meters wide. The surface area is just under one hectare. It is surrounded by much larger islands of the Sestiere Cannaregio and separated from them by canals of different widths, over which three bridges pass."
