Located in the tuff area, in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, the splendid town of Pitigliano is counted among the most beautiful villages in Italy and boasts the Orange Flag for tourism. Affectionately called "little Jerusalem", this community welcomed a significant Jewish presence from the 16th century. Today, Pitigliano stands out as one of the most fascinating historic villages in Italy, with its Etruscan cave streets and evocative necropolises.
