Guided tour of Pitigliano — Tuscan Maremma

As you stroll through Pitigliano, you will discover a unique village, carved out of tuff and perched on a promontory. The very approach to the town, which seems to rise out of the cliff, is an experience in itself. Whether you choose the Private tour of the Jewish Ghetto or a broader exploration such as the Guided tour of Orvieto, Civita di Bagnoregio and Pitigliano, you will be immersed in a millennia-old history. Etruscan traces are everywhere, notably in the impressive Vie Cave, and these corridors carved into the rock. The presence of the Jewish community, which earned Pitigliano the nickname of «Little Jerusalem», is particularly striking. You can visit the restored synagogue and the museum, discovering the ritual bath, the unleavened bread oven, or the kosher wine cellar, all carved into the tuff.

Beyond its history, Pitigliano offers authentic flavors. Be sure to taste the Sfratto del Goym, a traditional Jewish dessert whose shape recalls the bastons once used to signify the expulsion. Pair it with a glass of Bianco di Pitigliano, a renowned white wine whose vineyards benefit from the region's unique volcanic terroir. If you opt for a tour including the surrounding area, such as the Guided tour of Pitigliano, Montemerano and Saturnia thermal baths, you can explore varied landscapes, from the medieval alleys of Montemerano to the beneficial waters of Saturnia.
