The Duchess is a comfortable place with lots going for it, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t start with that view.

It was established by Papal decree in 1555, when all Roman Jews were consigned to a three hectare patch of the city, best known for its propensity to flood, and limited to jobs as fishmongers, ragmen and pawnbrokers.
