The Ghetto sits in Cannaregio, a quieter sestiere north of the Grand Canal and a short walk from Santa Lucia station. The Campo del Ghetto Nuovo is wide and unornamented, ringed by tenement houses six and seven stories tall because the community was confined and had to build upward. The five historic synagogues are upstairs rooms above ordinary shopfronts, with no visible facades from the street. The square takes its name from a copper foundry that stood here before 1516. Today the campo holds the Jewish Museum, a kosher bakery, a small playground at one corner, and the bronze Holocaust memorial along the north wall.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
