“The Story of the Synagogue”
Immersive room
A uniquely emotional experience putting the audience in the front seat in a journey through history to discover Florence’s Jewish synagogue as recounted by the most important figures in the life of the city’s Jewish community from the 19th century to the present day: Cavalier David Levi, architect Marco Treves and Rabbi Samuel Margulies. Life-size figures come to life to narrate the story of the synagogue and to interact both amongst themselves and with the audience.
