""Serena Di Nepi's Surviving the Ghetto is the highly anticipated English translation of her book Sopravvivere al ghetto, originally published in 2013. It is a study of the birth of the Roman ghetto in 1555 and its first fifty years of existence. (…) Having laid out the preconditions for the establishment of the ghetto, Di Nepi turns to the main part of her book, an illustrious and intelligent examination of the effect of the ghetto on Jewish society. (…) This ultimately results in a story that goes far beyond the Jewish survival of the Roman ghetto. It offers a nuanced sketch of Roman Jewish society in the sixteenth century in particular, and early modern Jewish life in Italy in general."" - Andreas Berger, in Renaissance Quarterly Volume 75, Issue 4 (2022).
