The Jewish quarter of Palerme was attacked during a riot.

Sicily was home at that time to the largest Jewish community in Italy, spread across nearly every town on the island, with Palerme as its center. Its Jews lived under the direct protection of the Crown of Aragon, which collected their taxes and defended them against the towns; it was this protection that allowed them to survive two centuries of riots without being expelled, until the edict of fourteen ninety-two.
