Italy is home to one of the oldest Jewish presences in the Western world, reaching back more than two thousand years to the Jews of ancient Rome. Over the centuries Italian Jewry developed its own distinctive customs — the "Italian rite" — alongside Sephardi and Ashkenazi communities that settled in cities from Venice to Livorno.
Today the community is small but deeply rooted, concentrated in Rome, Milan, and a string of historic towns whose synagogues, ghettos, and Jewish museums tell that long story. Visitors will find kosher restaurants and bakeries, active synagogues, and mikvahs in the main centres.
