In 1516, the Venetian ghetto was established, and the city's Jewish population was segregated into it. This move was to redefine city life and set a blueprint for a European urban capitalist future. In The First Ghetto, Situationist Alice Becker-Ho takes a long look at the history of Venice-and its importance to cities in general-arguing that it became the heir to ancient traditions that turned it into a model commercial city whose problems we still grapple with today.
