Synagogue, Baroque synagogue in Asti, Italy
The synagogue features four large columns with Corinthian capitals supporting a central dome, while the interior displays a rectangular floor plan for Jewish ceremonies.
The structure, initially built in 1786, underwent major modifications in 1889 when brothers Jacob and Leonetto Ottolenghi funded renovations to enhance its visibility.
The synagogue follows the Appam rite, incorporating specific liturgical elements and melodies that distinguish the Jewish community of Asti from other Italian congregations.
Located at Via Ottolenghi 8, the synagogue receives visitors through guided tours, which require advance reservations through the Jewish Community of Turin.
The ark contains intricately carved wooden doors from 1809, decorated with eight panels depicting biblical furnishings crafted by cabinet maker Bonzanigo.
