A little boy named Simon died in 1475. The event was blamed on the Jews, with stories of Pagan rituals. Fictional scenes are depicted on two plaques on via Roma. In punishment for the alleged crime, all Jewish men in Trento were killed, while women and children were expelled. The Jews put a ban on Trento in return. In the 1990s, relations between Trento and the Jewish community improved when the Trentini stopped (officially) honouring Simione as a martyr, and the ban was lifted. A plaque in a little alley off via Roma commemorates this occasion.
