Pitigliano

Avanzando hacia el Oeste por la Strada Statale Maremmana, SS/SR74 a unos 60 km de su inicio en la Via Aurelia, E80 al sur de la Toscana en su límite con Lazio emerge Pitigliano de la roca volcánica a 300 metros sobre el nivel del mar. La ciudad parece emerger de la roca. De orígenes etruscos, ya se habla de Pitigliano, la Pequeña Jerusalem allá por 1061. La ciudad parece emerger de la roca. De orígenes etruscos, ya se habla de Pitigliano, la Pequeña Jerusalem allá por 1061. Todo el pueblo está construido sobre una colina de "Tufo" (así se le llama a esta tierra especial que se encuentra en muchas zonas de la Toscana y Lacio) y da la impresión de que sus murallas y sus casas son la continuación de la misma colina. Desde el punto de vista histórico no cabe duda de que Pitigliano había sido ya habitada por los Etruscos (500 AC) teniendo en cuenta las numerosas grutas que los arqueólogos han encontrado en la localidad, aunque su aspecto actual es mas bien medieval. Llamada también la pequeña Jerusalén, Pitigliano es uno de los pocos pueblos de la Toscana que conserva aún un barrio Judío con su Sinagoga.

Etruscan origins, there is talk of Pitigliano, Little Jerusalem back in 1061. The whole town is built on a hill "Tufo" (so called to this special land that is found in many areas of Tuscany and Lazio) and gives the impression that its walls and houses are a continuation of the same hill. From the historical point of view there is no doubt that Pitigliano had been inhabited by the Etruscans (500 BC) taking into account the many caves that archaeologists found in the village, although its present appearance is rather medieval. Also called Little Jerusalem, Pitigliano is one of the few towns in Tuscany that still has a Jewish quarter with its synagogue.

16 maggio 2015,partiamo alla scoperta della selvaggia Toscana del Sud. Direzione Saturnia, per provare le famose cascatelle vulcaniche. Quel giorno però il tempo non è dei migliori,smette di piovere appena arriviamo e decidiamo di girare un pò,fino a giungere a Pitigliano. Un meraviglioso paese costruito sopra il tufo,la piccola Gerusalemme, per la grande sinagoga che ospita. Peccato che di aperitivi non siano proprio attrezzati,tuttavia,la vista è mozzafiato,soprattutto di notte!
