Abstract
La comunidad sefardí de Venecia dejó rastros en la cultura, la literatura y las tradiciones del pueblo judío de la Laguna. Esta herencia se encuentra también en el Antiguo Cementerio Judío del Lido: las lápidas sefardíes destacan no solo por su estilo arquitectónico, sino también por la escritura sefardí, los epitafios bilingües y los escudos de armas grabados sobre la piedra. Los sefardíes, que representaron un importante recurso en la economía y en el comercio de la ciudad, instituyeron también una cofradía de caridad, cuyo estatuto bilingüe (portugués-italiano) fue publicado en 1712. El estudio de las lápidas y de las fuentes documentales nos permite reconstruir la vida y los acontecimientos de los miembros de la comunidad y también comprender aspectos importantes de la cultura literaria, artística y lingüística de los judíos sefardíes en la diáspora.
The Sephardic community of Venice left its mark on the culture, literature, and traditions of the Jewish people of the Lagoon. This heritage can also be found in the Ancient Jewish Cemetery of the Lido. Sephardic tombstones are notable not only for their architectural style but also for the Sephardi script, the bilingual epitaphs, and the coats of arms engraved on the stone. The Sephardim were a valuable resource in the Venetian economy and commerce. They also founded a charity fraternity, whose statute was published in 1712 in both Portuguese and Italian. The study of tombstones and historical sources helps us to reconstruct the lives and events of the community members as well as understand important aspects of the literary, artistic, and linguistic culture of the Sephardic Jews in the diaspora.
