Jews urged to return to Sardinia
The mayor of the Italian town of Alghero in north-western Sardinia has signed a historical document of apology to Jews expelled from the island as part of the banishment from Spain. The town has even inaugurated a main square called "the Square of the Jews," which is located where a synagogue used to stand.
Gradonačelnik talijanskog grada Alghera, na sjevezaoadu Sardinije, je potpisao povijesni dokument kojim se ispričava Židovima koji su protjerani sa otoka u vrijeme progona iz Španjolske. Grad je čak posvetio jedan trg " Trg Židova" na mjestu gdje je nekada stajala sinagoga. To imenovanje je bilo prošlog tjedna, na inicijativu Dr.Amire Meir, supruge prošlog izraelskog ambasadora u Italiji Gideona Meira. Oni su bili prisutni ceremoniji , zajedno sa sadašnjim ambasadorom Naor Gilonom.

The mayor then delivered a speech, saying he would like to rectify the injustice caused to the town's Jews in the past. He concluded by calling on Jews to return to Alghero. "Welcome home," he said. Jews had lived in Sardinia since the first century, and many catacombs with
Hebrew captions have been found in the area. One of them has the sign of the menorah on it. In the 14th and 15th centuries the town had a prospering Jewish community, which was banished in 1492.
