Italy

Today, ORT works with two Jewish schools: ORT Liceo Renzo Levi, founded in Rome by ORT Italy in partnership with the local Jewish community, and the ORT-affiliated Scuola della Comunita Ebraica in Milan, both of which provide excellence in general and Jewish education.

ORT activities in Italy began in 1946, providing vocational training to European displaced persons and refugees following the Second World War.

ORT has supported Jewish communities in Venice, Genoa and Florence, and has run schools in Rome, Livorno, Turin, Florence, Venice, Trieste and Cevoli, as well as a training farm in Cevoli San Marco.
