Renzo Ventura: Florentine lawyer, son-in-law to rabbi Fernando Belgrado, he extensively studied florentine minhag and chazanut under Belgrado, acted very often as a shaliach tzibbur both at the Florence Tempio Maggiore and at the Tempio Italiano in rechov Hillel in Jerusalem when he moved to Israel in the 2010s. He inherited most of Belgrado's original recordings and added to the collection other family recordings and his personal addenda based on his recollections of his study. He taught extensively to younger generations in Florence.

This complete recording of shacharit shel Shabbat made by Renzo Ventura for the purpose of teaching the ritual to new cantors begins from the verses at the end of pesukei dezimrah where, in the Florence minhag, the chazan who will read shacharit goes up to the tevah. Note that the single items of shacharit that are shown as "part of"this item are different recordings, made on a later date and for the same purpose by the same Ventura.
