How were the Jews treated in Venice in the 16th century?
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.)

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.
