Photo Saturday: A Stroll Through Rome’s Jewish Ghetto

Scene from the Jewish Ghetto in Rome

Rome’s Jewish Ghetto is full of tiny, dark, twisted streets that (spray paint aside) have looked approximately the same since the Middle Ages. Some of those streets - so small as to be completely overshadowed by surrounding buildings - seem never even to see the light of day.

Imagine, therefore, the delight felt by photographer Susan Sanders as she strolled yesterday through the usually somber Via della Reginella and discovered that the angle of Rome’s brightening spring sun perfectly illuminated a newly painted wall that is home to a collection of historic relief sculptures and inscriptions.

For more photographs by Susan, pay a visit to her Rome With a View blog.
