A splendid town in the Tufo area, in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, Pitigliano is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and has an orange flag.Also nicknamed Little Jerusalem, because starting from the 16th century it housed a large Jewish community within its walls, Pitigliano is today one of the most fascinating historic villages in Italy and an unmissable stop during a trip to Tuscany.Perched on a tuff cliff, the town stands imposingly over the valleys of the Lente, Meleta and Prochio streams, offering a wonderful view of the wild and unspoiled nature of this area of the Tuscan Maremma. The Etruscans built the famous Vie Cave, very ancient ways of communication dug by hand in the tuffaceous rock, used as a communication and defense route, the first villages, and the marvelous Necropolis, the City of the Dead.
