THE LUXRY GHETTO

....is a part of a city in which members of a majority group are concentrated, especially as a result of political, social, legal, religious, environmental or economic pressure.Ghettos are often known for being more impoverished than other areas of the city. Versions of such restricted areas have been found across the world, each with their own names, classifications, and groupings of people.
The Age of the Ghetto’ originated in Italy in the mid-16th century and ended around the time of the French Revolution. Italian city-states, reluctant to sacrifice their economic interests, chose the compromise of enclosure over the expulsion or conversion of Jewish inhabitants.
The word ‘ghetto’ evolved from the name of a specific Venetian district to a term adopted by Jews throughout Italy, incorporating the Hebrew ‘ghet’ meaning ‘bill of divorce’.
Ghettos, which were often vibrant religious and cultural communities, eventually became overcrowded and unsafe.
