Bertinoroברטינורו

Italy

Bertinoro is a hill town in the province of Forlì-Cesena, in the Romagna area of Emilia-Romagna, north-central Italy. Its castle, built around the year 1000, hosted the emperor Frederick Barbarossa in 1177, and the town was the seat of a Catholic diocese from 1360 until it was united with Forlì in 1986. Bertinoro was the birthplace, around 1445-1450, of Rabbi Obadiah ben Abraham, known as the Bartenura, whose commentary on the Mishnah became the standard one printed with the text. He reached Jerusalem in 1488 and became a leader of its Jewish community, dying there around 1515.
