Pitigliano

Italy is known for many great things, from its amazing cuisine, incredible architecture and breathtaking landscapes. However, there is one small village that you should include in your travel schedule due to its beauty and rich history: Pitigliano. For this reason at Brit Olom Tours in Miami, we prepared the following post containing interesting information on this beautiful place.

Where is it?

The small village of Pitigliano is located in Tuscany, about 50 miles from the province of Grosseto. This area has a unique environment, as the volcanic activity blends with the vegetation and wildlife to create a unique landscape.

History

Pitigliano has a large history, however one of its most important and interesting moments is related to the strong presence of the Jewish community during the 16th century. At some point during this period, the community represented over 10% of the population, hence Pitigliano was known as the little Jerusalem.

What to See?

There are some landmarks that you shouldn’t miss during your visit and perhaps the most important is the ‘Palazzo Orsini’, where you will find a museum that holds an interesting collection on the etruscan civilization and a breathtaking view of the countryside. Also, the magnificent synagogue is one of the most notable sights in Pitigliano.

Pitigliano is an amazing place that you definitely have to visit while you are in Italy, as you won’t find another place with the unique history and environment that this city holds.. Also, be sure to read our guide on planning the perfect vacation.
