PITIGLIANO IN MAREMMA TUSCANY<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A breathtaking town carved into the Tufo rock, in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, Pitigliano is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy.<\/p>\n

Also known as Little Jerusalem, thanks to the large Jewish community it hosted within its walls in the 16th century, Pitigliano is definitely one for the bucket list next time you\u2019re in Tuscany.<\/p>\n

Perched on a cliff of local stone known as \u2018tufo\u2019, the town stands majestically at the crossroads of the valleys of the Lente, Meleta and Prochio, with a wonderful view of the wild and unspoiled Tuscan Maremma countryside.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re visiting with your own car, stop at the Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Grazie before entering Pitigliano for a spectacular first view of its spectacular skyline. The massive tufaceous rock supports the entire town, which began as a prehistoric village and blossomed into a modern town.<\/p>\n

At night, the view is even more spectacular, illuminated from above by the natural light of the moon, the village seems to be suspended in the void, supported by a mysterious force.<\/p>\n

The history of Pitigliano is ancient. Legend suggests the town was founded by two young Romans, Petilio and Celiano, who, fleeing Rome after stealing Jupiter\u2019s golden crown, took refuge in the countryside around Pitigliano, founding the first community from which the city originated, named Petiliano after those two Roman brothers, then becoming, in the following centuries, Pitigliano.<\/p>\n

Aside from the legend, Pitigliano can trace its roots farther back than the Roman Empire.\u00a0The territory was already inhabited in the Neolithic Age. With the arrival of the Etruscans, the Tuscan town was transformed into a veritable city. The Etruscans built the Vie Cave, ancient roads excavated by hand into the tufaceous rock, used as a way of communication and defence and to connect the first villages with the wonderful Necropolis, the Cities of the Dead.<\/p>\n

Today Pitigliano is a jewel of art, history and culture, every corner of its Old Town tells a story rich in history. Every narrow alleyway, piazza, panoramic view and museum is one you won\u2019t soon forget.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The town of Pitigliano is home to so many amazing palazzos and historical buildings, the majestic Palazzo Orsini, the ancient residence of the Orsini family, lords of the County of Pitigliano, Sovana and Santa Fiora and the Salvini Theatre, built in 1823 by the Filodrammatica Ravvivati. One of the most striking buildings in Pitigliano is certainly the Medici Aqueduct, an elegant example of ancient architecture, built at the behest of the Orsini, continued in the Medici period and then restored by the Dukes of Lorraine.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss the Jewish Ghetto, the ancient neighbourhood built by the Jewish community that lived in Pitigliano from the late 16th century. The ghetto features a Synagogue, the Forno delle Azzime bakery, the Macelleria Kasher butcher, the Cellar and the Ritual Baths. Finally, there are Pitigliano\u2019s churches, the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, the Church of San Rocco, which is the oldest building in the entire town, and the Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Grazie, just outside the town with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss the Archaeological Museum of the Etruscan Civilisation, which is located in a wing of the Palazzo Orsini and houses artefacts found in the Necropolis of Poggio Buco. The Manzi Open Air Museum connects the \u201ccity of the living\u201d with the \u201ccity \u200b\u200bof the dead\u201d through an Etruscan built road leading to an ancient necropolis. The Museum of Palazzo Orsini has 21 rooms filled with frescoes and 15th-century paintings, antique furniture, gold, jewellery and silverware, coins, wooden sculptures, paintings on canvas and tablets, precious fabrics donated to the museum from the main churches of the territory. And finally, the town\u2019s Jewish Ghetto with its museum, synagogue and underground city.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

I never thought I'd find a synagogue in Tuscany. Rereading the history it is clear that the Jews arrived in Italy and chose Livorno for the

Little Jerusalem<\/h3>\n

If you happen to be visiting Pitigliano, take some time to visit the Jewish quarter, the ghetto established by the doctors in 1662, later named \"the little Jerusalem\". Obviously you cannot miss a visit to the Synagogue and the premises surrounding it, which from the ritual bath \"Tevil\u00e0\" to the preparation of \"Kasher\" food (wine and meat) and unleavened bread, show the main references of the Jewish community's way of life. .....<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Jewish Ghetto of Pitigliano<\/h3>\n

I had seen the film \"the bread of memory\" at the house of cinema in Rome, it tells the story of Elena Servi, the last Jewess of Pitigliano.
\nThanks to the Orsini family, in Pitigliano in the sixteenth century, many Jews fleeing persecution and imprisonment in ghettos. In those years the Synagogue was built, the cemetery on a tuff slope near the town.
\nWith the arrival of the Medici, the Jews were evicted from their homes and forcibly moved to the Ghetto. The community grew to reach 1\/4 of the country's population. Today the rooms of the ancient ghetto can be visited: the ritual bath, the slaughterhouse, the oven, the wine cellar, the dry cleaners and the synagogue. During the visit you can feel intense emotions walking in these caves dug into the tuffaceous walls. The small museum is interesting and cozy ....<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Synagogue of Pitigliano<\/h3>\n

Pitigliano is a jewel, an enchanted and fascinating place that seems to emerge from the tuff rock on which it rests. The ocher-colored buildings seem one with the rock.
\nPitigliano is also known as the Little Jerusalem, due to the historical presence of a Jewish community and a Synagogue, one of the most characteristic monuments of the historic center. It seems that it was built (in 1598) on a pre-existing oratory. Inside we find interesting furnishings (16th and 17th centuries). Under the temple we find the rooms for the Ritual Bath, the Unleavened Oven, the Kosher Butcher, the Kosher Cellar and the Dyeing ...<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
