The Synagogue of Turin (Italian: Sinagoga di Torino), also known as Israelite Temple (Italian: Tempio Israelitico),[2] is a Jewish congregation and synagogue, that is located at 12 Via Pio V, in Torino, Piedmont, Italy.
[3][4] In 1859 the community tasked architect Alessandro Antonelli to build what would be their future temple, and works started swiftly.
For this reason, they chose to sell the half-completed building to the city in exchange for a sum of money and the land upon which the current-day synagogue stands.
[4] In 1880 architect Enrico Petiti started works for the present-day Moorish Revival-style synagogue, that was completed in 1884.
[5] On November 20, 1942, Allied bombardments on the city completely destroyed the synagogue, with the exception of the exterior walls.
