The Vercelli Synagogue (Italian: Tempio Israelitico) is an Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at Via Foà 70, in Vercelli, Italy.[2] Designed in the Moorish Revial style by Marco Treves, an architect born in Vercelli who also designed the Great Synagogue of Florence,[3] the synagogue was completed in 1878.
The synagogue features red-and-white masonry courses and a flat, tripartite facade with a raised central portion, that resembles a number of other European and American synagogues with designs inspired by Vienna's Leopoldstädter Tempel, by architect Ludwig Förster.[3]
A major restoration project was launched in 2007.[4]
On 23 November 2013, in an antisemitic act, two swastikas were found sprayed on its walls.[5]
