he Levantine Schola, founded
in 1541, was rebuilt in the second half of 17th century.
Even if without documents unequivocally proving that,
it is thought that the artists who worked for the restoration
were Baldassarre Longhena, whose stylistic models are
clearly evident on the façade
and Andrea Brustolon for the important pulpit. Again
the attention of the visitor is captivated by the two
focuses, the rich and at the same time austere 'Aron
ha-Kodesh in multicoloured marble, and above all, the
pulpit of great effect, sumptuous and oriental like
of typical eighteenth century taste, which rises on
cultual room, making thus the place of the reading of
the Word dominating on the whole structure.
