Banco Rosso, Venice, Italy

Model of a Jewish moneylender in the Banco Rosso or Red Bank, a pawnbroker's shop in the Jewish ghetto area of Venice, Italy, now a museum. The banks in the Jewish ghetto survived from the 14th century until the end of the Republic in 1797. The city of Venice is an archipelago of 117 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges, in the Venetian Lagoon. The historical centre of Venice is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
