Wandering through the picturesque alleys of its ancient villages or through the fascinating hollow streets carved into the tuff, visitors can breathe in the passage of history, in an indissoluble union between art and nature.
Pitigliano Tour

Also known as the 'Little Jerusalem', Pitigliano boasts the presence of numerous buildings of Jewish culture in addition to the town's medieval monuments, such as the imposing Orsini Fortress, from which one can enjoy an incomparable panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.
The hollow ways
The Vie Cave are ancient routes carved by the Etruscans into the tuffaceous rock dating back to between the 9th and 2nd centuries BC. They are furrows that cut deep into the earth originally used for religious purposes.
