Judaica / Zionism - Italy, Aluminum Plaque Depicting the Great Synagogue of Rome - circa early 20th century A small aluminum relief plaque depicting the Great Synagogue of Rome (Tempio Maggiore di Roma), one of the most renowned Jewish houses of worship in Europe. The front shows the imposing façade of the synagogue with its distinctive dome and neoclassical columns, and bears the inscriptions: In Hebrew - “בית הכנסת העברי ברומא” (Hebrew Synagogue of Rome), and in English - “Jewish Synagogue Rome.” The reverse is blank, with no additional engravings or markings. This piece was likely produced as a souvenir or commemorative token honoring the historic Jewish community of Rome, which inaugurated its monumental synagogue in 1904.
