The Jewish Community of Ancona The position of Ancona Jewry, although temporarily improved under Pope Pius IV, again deteriorated under Pius V. Ancona was one of the cities in Italy, together with Rome, from which the Pope did not expel the Jews in 1569, being tolerated because of their utility in the Levant trade; nevertheless many decided to leave. The Ancona tragedy thus occasioned the first attempt by Jewry to utilize economic power as a weapon against persecutors, as well as provoking a debate on the desirability and danger of attempting international Jewish action of this nature. During the occupation of Ancona by the army of Napoleon I between 1797 and 1799 the most humiliating provisions were abrogated. www.bh.org.il /Communities/Archive/ancona.asp   (1422 words)

Marche Voyager - Guide to Ancona In the Middle Ages, the forces of the German Emperors, the Church and the Venetian Republic each made sure that Ancona was never able to establish itself as a powerful maritime republic. Later, the Romans exploited its sheltered anchorage and in 115 AD, under the Emperor Trajan, the present harbour walls were raised; the stately ceremonial marble arch standing forlornly at the end of the docks marks his achievement. The austere interior is picked out with exotic Byzantine touches, a painted wooden roof in the form of an upturned boat, and a soaring 12-sided cupola - a place to linger in out of the summer heat. www.le-marche.com /Marche/html/ancona.htm   (700 words)
