In via Bertani, from which part of the Jewish ghetto was once accessed, it is possible to admire, at number 54, the The Rabbi's House: an imposing palace known for having welcomed the families of the religious leaders of the Mantuan community.
The house is a testament to the architectural vitality present in the ghetto, where low and modest houses stand alongside prestigious dwellings, with facades that recall a decorative system used in the late seventeenth-century courtyards of the Sordi and Valenti palaces.
There The Rabbi's House It is four stories high, with an internal courtyard that displays 15th-century features. The façade, decorated with friezes and gargoyles, is enhanced by a marble portal and pilasters on pedestals supporting the balconies. Of particular interest are the panels between the ground-floor windows and those on the upper floor, which feature urban scenes from biblical stories, decorated in exquisite stucco.
