Vercelli Synagogue

The Vercelli Synagogue is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at Via Foà 70, in Vercelli, Italy. Designed in the Moorish Revial style by Marco Treves, an architect born in Vercelli who also designed the Great Synagogue of Florence, the synagogue was completed in 1878.

History

The synagogue features red-and-white masonry courses and a flat, tripartite facade with a raised central portion, that resembles a number of other European and American synagogues with designs inspired by Vienna's Leopoldstädter Tempel, by architect Ludwig Förster.
A major restoration project was launched in 2007.
On 23 November 2013, in an antisemitic act, two swastikas were found sprayed on its walls.
