The Venice Ghetto 500 Years of Life - Trailer

[@bartholomeworam8211]

Does anyone know the origin of the quote 'undoubtedly, among all the states and all the places in the world, the Jewish nation is delighted with the gentle government of the Serenissima Republic, the best organised of all' from this trailer?

"Et ancor non vi è dubbio che fra tutti li stati, e lochi del mondo si compiace la natione hebrea del soavissimo governo della Serenissima Republica", Simone Luzzatto (Simchah ben Itzaq) (Venice, 1580 - Venice, 6 January 1663). He was a rabbi of Venice and helped to promote Jewish integration into the Venetian society of the time. Among his writings, famous are "Discorso circa il stato de gl'Hebrei" and "Socrate overo Dell'humano sapere". www.jewishencyclopedia.com/articles/10203-luzzatto-luzzatti
