Imagine, here in Lerici - one of Liguria's most beautiful places - there was a ghetto for Jews for almost two centuries.
A street where the gates at each end locked in the residents at night and Sundays.
Imagine, here in Lerici - as in all of gracious and tolerant Italy - Jews were required to wear a yellow badge, and were subject to special discriminatory laws and fines.
Remarkably, Via del Ghetto and most of its original buildings still exist, steps away from the dock for Cinque Terre boats.
You can visit this small street, and, if you bring imagination and knowledge, you can visit the Lerici ghetto as well.
