For those seeking a stunning backdrop for a love declaration, Pitigliano is a perfect choice. This magnificent village in the heart of the Maremma, carved into tuff stone, is known as “Little Jerusalem” due to the historic presence of a Jewish community that lived in harmony with the locals for centuries. The nickname pays tribute to the significant cultural and religious heritage the Jewish community has left behind.
Pitigliano offers spectacular views thanks to its unique position on a tuff ridge overlooking the surrounding valleys. The medieval village, with its stone houses appearing to emerge directly from the rock, creates a breathtaking panorama, especially at sunset, when golden light enhances the warm tones of the tuff.
