רבי משה בן מרדכי זכות
Rabbi Moshe ben Mordechai Zacuto
The Ramaz — the exact kever is NOT confirmed
Who he was
Born about 1625 into a Portuguese anusim family in Amsterdam and taught by Rabbi Shaul Levi Morteira, he moved to Italy and lived in Venice, Verona and finally Mantua, where he was rov for the last twenty-four years of his life. In his own lifetime he was held to be the foremost kabbalist in Italy. The epitaph on his stone is recorded in the scholarly literature; where the stone now stands, we could not confirm.
