Review & FAQ:
Pitigliano is a village within the Province of Grosseto that is known as Italy’s Little Jerusalem for its significant and thriving Jewish population.
The town is located within the valleys of the Meleta and Lente Rivers, with architecture constructed into the region’s volcanic tuff overhanging walls.
Within its restored 15th-century synagogue, visitors can see an underground tuff cellar used to make kosher wine, a historic cemetery, and a former butcher shop. Wine production in the region is aided by its unique geology and rich soil, with the area renowned for its Bianco di Pitigliano wine, considered to be one of the best white wines produced in Tuscany.
