Pitigliano Entrance Gate

Highlight • Monument

Pitigliano is always worth a trip. Both the upper path and the lower path into the city are a pleasure. The small narrow streets invite you to explore and the small shops to shop.

Pitigliano Historic Hilltop Town

Highlight • Settlement

Located in the tuff area, in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, the splendid town of Pitigliano is counted among the most beautiful villages in Italy and boasts the Orange Flag for tourism. Affectionately called "little Jerusalem", this community welcomed a significant Jewish presence from the 16th century. Today, Pitigliano stands out as one of the most fascinating historic villages in Italy, with its Etruscan cave streets and evocative necropolises.

Via Cava di San Giuseppe

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Vie Cave, sometimes also called Cavoni, form a suggestive road system from the Etruscan era that connects various settlements and necropolises between Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano. They mainly develop between steep tuff rock walls, some of which exceed twenty meters in height. In Roman times, these streets became part of a road network connected to the main trunk of the Via Clodia, an ancient road that connected Rome to Saturnia, passing through the city of Tuscania and branching off from the Via Cassia in Lazio.

The Via Cava di San Giuseppe is one of the most evocative in the area, as well as the longest, leading up to Pitigliano. This street is associated with the traditional torchlight procession of San Giuseppe, which is held on March 19th. The link between ancient pagan rites and the dark atmosphere along the route, which still persists today, dates back to Christian times, when small niches with painted sacred images, known as "devil chasers", were dug to protect travellers.

Pitigliano Historic Town

Highlight • Settlement

beautiful old town with winding streets.
The hollow paths start already below the gate via Porta di Sovana.
Above the paths you have to follow the little traffic road for about 1 km, but you will be rewarded with a view of the city.
The paths can become smooth after rainy weather.
