Venezia deals in Jewish religious objects and David’s Shop sells traditional items made of Murano glass, such as Hanukkah lamps. Denis Dittura at El Papussa Calagher makes soft-leather bags and purses and still repairs bags and shoes, a rare thing in Venice these days. Aboaf Enzo at the Stamperia del Ghetto sells, among other things, black-and-white prints of the old ghetto.
