Tosco's word
Piazza della Repubblica Pitigliano (8.1) appeals with slightly gentler accessibility at 6.9 versus 6.6, and above all its superior photogenicity, 8.6 versus 8.3, if you dream of framing the village silhouette over the gorges. Pitigliano (8.0) compensates with slightly better authenticity, 8.2 versus 8.1, and a quality experience too, 8.4 versus 8.3, while opening up the slippery Vie Cave and nearby necropolises to you. The gap is slim: choose the first for the lookouts and slightly easier access by car, the second for immersion in Etruscan and Jewish history outside summer weekends.
