The theatrical grave stones of the Jewish cemetery in Ferrara commemorate many lives, many human experiences. Novelist Giorgio Bassani wrote ‘The Garden of the Finzi Contini’ about a wealthy Jewish family living in Ferrara (Emilia Romagna) in the 1930s and early 40s. A war time story of youth romance and ultimate tragedy - perfect material for a brand new opera opening @folksbiene New York on 27 January - world premiere #giornodimemoria #remembrance #Italy inspired by #FinziContini #Ferrara novel by Giorgio Bassani @turismoferrara @inemiliaromagna @italia_magazine @italiait full story: wp.me/p5eFNn-Uy
