The Vercelli Synagogue (Italian: Tempio Israelitico) is a synagogue in Vercelli, Italy.[1]
The synagogue, located at Via Foà 70, was built in 1878. It was designed by Marco Treves, an architect born in Vercelli who also designed the Great Synagogue of Florence.[2]
The Moorish Revival 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]
