On the Ghetto square, but more to the right than the Schola Tedesca and Canton, we can find the Schola Italiana, built in 1575 and famous because it was the place where Leon da Modena used to keep his lessons. You can recognise it from outside because it has five big wooden windows and a umbrella shape wooden dome that has been recently rebuilt because a fire burnt it. Unlike the other four synagogues that have their own entrance, the entrance to the synagogue is in common with other private apartments that are below the Schola. Also in the Schola Italiana, the bimà and the aron are on the short sides of the hall that, rectangular in its form, has both benches and entrance on the longest sides: the entrance of the synagogue is in the middle of one of the long sides. The women's gallery is above the doorway and has been built in 1700; the ceiling is decorated by rectangular and circular frames
