In Ferrara, the ghetto and Delizia del Paradiso area corresponds to an unfavourable, floodable depression, only belatedly reached by the Medieval urban growth. The Jewish presence in the town has been documented since the 13th century and, under the Este government, banks, houses, and synagogues enjoyed the freedom to locate in favourable points. The Papal Government instead forced the Jewish population into the narrow spaces of the ghetto, corresponding to the difficult topographical depression.
