Jewish Architecture
  Scuola Fanese, in the ghetto in Ferrara, Italy

© Milda Jakulytė, Photographer: Jakulytė, Milda, 2019

The Farnese Synagogue (Scola Farnese) is located on the second floor beside the rabbi’s apartments and the offices of the community. One enters the prayer hall via a carved wooden door that came from the former synagogue of the small town of Cento, as did the bimah and the polychrome marble Torah ark dating from the beginning of the eighteenth century. The synagogue also features gilt stucco citing the Ten Commandments.

The prayer hall is used for Sabbath services.

The same building houses two other synagogues (see CJA objects 24554, 24556).

Summary and Remarks

The Scola Tedesca, the Scola Fanese and the Scola Italiana are located in the same building.
