Anastasia Vendrov-De Santi — Israeli-Italian, living in Florence for over 20 years, part of the Florence Jewish community. Her family is still part of the community today. She leads tours from inside the community's perspective.

What will we see?

The Great Synagogue (Tempio Maggiore — one of Europe's most beautiful), the Aron Kodesh, the historic Jewish ghetto area, stories of the centuries-old Florence Jewish community, the influence of Kabbalah on the Renaissance, biblical figures hidden in Florence's art (Moses with horns, David of Michelangelo), and unexpected Jewish connections throughout the city.
