PITIGLIANO - Echnanted Hilltop Marvel

Pitigliano is a spellbinding ancient town dramatically located on a promontory and comprised of irregular tuffaceous stone buildings stacked one on top of one another giving the appearance of rising from a rocky cliff.  Dominating the steep valleys grooved by three rivers, Pitigliano is truly a sight to behold.

Pitigliano’s extensive heritage is a source of pride for the locals. Remains of its prehistoric establishment are evident in the tombs and caves along its city wall. The town’s current name evolved from its Ancient Roman name, Petilia Gens, derived from the names of the settlement’s alleged founders:  Petilio and Celiano.

The centuries-old medieval stone houses, attractive small squares, and narrow pedestrian-friendly winding lanes wide enough for the passage of carts will carry you back into the fascinating medieval era of powerful lords, dukes, and counts who ruled this town and walked along these same streets. 

During your ample free time on your own to explore Pitigliano, you will find unique and inviting shops that sell jewelry, ceramics, delicatessens, olive oil, wine, and the local treat: Sfratto di Pitigliano. The wine of the region has few rivals, which you may enjoy a glass with your lunch of Tuscan specialties at an inviting local ristorante.

Discover the ancient Jewish ghetto on Via Zuccarelli and see why Pitigliano is referred to as "Little Jerusalem". During your free time exploring the town, you may visit the Jewish Ghetto and its synagogue that was built in 1598.  See centuries-old underground rooms carved from tuffa rock that served as an ancient wine cellar, an Azzime Bakery, and other aspects of the everyday life of Pitigliano’s Jewish community from the 15th century.

• Admission tickets to visit "La Piccola Gerusalemme" / Little Jerusalem cost approximately 5 Euros per person. The site is closed on Saturdays, Jewish holidays, and Christmas Day.

Following your visit and lunch in Pitigliano, you will join your driver for a short drive to Sovana where you will enjoy a brief stop at this tiny village.

SOVANA  - Where Time Stands Still

Sovana is a delightful boutique tuffaceous village comprised of butterscotch medieval stone buildings and terracotta brick pavement laid out in the traditional herringbone pattern.

Sovana’s charming Piazza del Pretorio is considered among Italy’s top 100 most beautiful squares boasting the 8th-century church of Santa Maria, the picturesque Palazzetto dell’Archivio, the Loggia del Capitano, and Palazzo del Pretorio.

Following your visit to this charming village, you will once again join your driver at 3:00 PM  for a relaxing drive through the Tuscan countryside back to your cruise ship in Civitavecchia, with an estimated arrival at approximately 5:00 PM.
