The project focuses on the creation of the National Museum of Italian Judaism and the Shoah established in Ferrara. The purpose of the museum is to illustrate the originality of Italian Jewish history in the context of the broader European and Mediterranean sphere and to promote cultural activities aimed at harnessing, for the present and the future, the heritage of knowledge, activities, ideas and experiences witnessed by the Jewish presence in Italy. The site consists of the large complex of the former prisons. The project encompasses the definition of the architectural space: the reuse of the Ferrara Prison and its accessory spaces, the design of new spaces, the layout of the museum and the presentation of the chosen topics.
