Synagogue, Neoclassical synagogue in Soragna, Italy

The synagogue features a large prayer hall on the first floor with trabeated pilasters and a frescoed vaulted ceiling by Giuseppe Levi.

In 1584, the Meli Lupi marquises granted permission for Jews to purchase land for a cemetery and the building where the synagogue stands.

The synagogue layout mirrors Catholic churches with the tevah positioned in front of the aron and central seating arranged in rows.

The synagogue, part of the Jewish Museum Fausto Levi, displays religious artifacts, prayer texts, and Scrolls of the Law with silver decorations.

The women's gallery exhibits a collection of ketuboth, traditional Jewish marriage contracts, documenting the local community's family histories.
