The document summarizes the history of the Venetian Ghetto and the liberation of the Jewish people from it. It describes how the first ghetto was established in 1516 to separate Jews from the rest of the population. The ghetto system restricted Jews to certain roles and prevented their full integration into society. Napoleon's conquest of Italy in 1797 reached Venice, and he granted equal rights to Jews. On July 1797, the walls of the Venetian Ghetto were torn down, liberating the Jewish citizens and allowing them to participate in society without restrictions.
