Jews in Venice were historically treated with neglect and derision. While the Jews in Venice were not often subject to riots or pogroms, they were not considered Venetian citizens. They were relegated to a small area of the Canaregio district called Ghetto. (It is from this neighborhood that the term "ghetto" to refer to a Jewish district in a city.)
After the Risorgimento (Italian Unification), Jews in Venice were given some rights, but significantly less than Catholic Italians. During World War II, the small Jewish population of Venice was exterminated. The only Jews left in Venice are incidental inhabitants and tourists, who are treated relatively well.

How were Jews treated in Italy in the 16th century?
This is a very broad question and it depended where you were. Jews were allowed to live in some locations, although in separate quarters. Jews who had taken Christianity only to avoid persecution in Spain and Portugal and came to Italy, were not always allowed to return to Judiasm, because practicing any faith other than Christianity was also subject to punishment. Then again, Jews were sometimes expelled from locations, such as Naples. Some were allowed to settle in northern Italy. There is a lot of material on line you can research.
