The Cherasco Synagogue is the old synagogue of the Jewish community of Cherasco, Italy. ==History== A Jewish community, engaged in silk production and banking, is recorded in Cherasco from the 16th century onward. A ghetto was defined in 1723, but Jews continued to live outside the ghetto. In 1813, Abramo (Abraham) Debenedetti served on the town council. Emilio Debenedetti, an engineer, designed and constructed the town electrical system.〔Sacerdoti, p. 30〕 The Cherasco synagogue is of uncertain date. A date of 5557 (1797) on a stone plaque above a stone basin for ritual washing on a staircase may refer to the date of the synagogue's construction, or of a renovation.〔 The Cherasco Synagogue is one of about sixteen that survive in Piedmont, including the Synagogue of Casale Monferrato, the Biella Synagogue and the Vercelli Synagogue. The synagogue has been preserved, but is no longer in use. It is sometimes open to visitors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cherasco Synagogue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
