antico ghetto e sinagoga pitigliano印象
-
Not a very big museum but it gives the flavor of what it meant to be Jewish for a few hundred, or less, years in the past 2 centuries in Pitigliano.

Italian jewish history is not widely covered while visiting typical tour destinations. Pitigliano is an exception. We've heard about the city's nickname "Little Jerusalem" and expected to find some type of jewish community in the city. It was a complete surprise to learn that there are only 2 people left (if at all). Despite that the Synagogue has been lovingly restored and the museum provides a great overview of the past generations as well as jewish customs and traditions. The caves (some attribute them to Etruscan times) were used for religious ceremonies, making of matzo, meat preparation according to kosher rules, etc. The place is small but there are little brochures provided with the paid (small) entrance fee.Highly recommend.

The Sinagoga is nice and might be worth to pop in if you have 20/30 min to spare.The ghetto is just very picturesque and charming, definitely worth to have a stroll through the little lanes. You will feel like you went back in time!

We visited Pitigliano from Siena, about 2-21/2 hour drive. Seeing the hilltop town from below is absolutely amazing. We took a tour of the town and the Synagogue with Elisabetta Peri (perielisabetta@gmail.com). She lives in Pitigliano and is most knowledge about the area. The town is also known as Little Jerusalem. We learned of the history of the Jews in the area and how they were welcomed to Putigliano and later saved from the Nazis in WWII. The town is charming and there were few tourists there when we were there. Elisabetta later drove us to Sovana, a town of 100 inhabitants. There is one street in the town and we enjoyed strolling it, looking at the shops.We then returned to Pitigliano, bought a bottle of Kosher for Passover delicious wine and had a lovely lunch at a local restaurant. Pitigliano is a must for anyone touring Tuscany and definitely contact Elisabetta Peri for a wonderful tour.

A nicely restored ancient synagogue, with the ruins from the "Ghetto" in this lovely hilltown in the Maremma region of Italy. Fascinating and moving to see how jews lived here so many years ago. Driving in the region is not exactly a great pleasure as the roads are narrow and many are steep too. However Pitigliano and Sorano are just wonderful. As a bonus we found people were invariably helpful.

Pitigliano, a village in the Maremina area of Tuscany. An easy 2 hour drive from our home base in Cortona, passing thru the delightful town of Bolsana, on the Lake.We booked a morning tour with Elisabetta Peri (perielisabetta@gmail.com). A local resident and one of the best tour guides we have met. Memorable sites included the 16th century Medici Aqueduct, Palazzo Orisini, the Cathedral of S Peter & Paul. The highlight of the tour was the Jewish Ghetto, "Little Jerusalem". If you want fantastic scenery, sites and a fabulous town without tourists, this is a must see, along with the nearby town of Sovana.

In italy, its easy to be churched out, especially for someone who is not religious in any way, shape or form. A stop at the sinagoga di pitigliano is an interesting departure from the wealth of the church. To see the ghetto where Jews were banished from Rome and allowed to flourish in this southern Tuscan town in the 1500's is sobering. Worth the visit.

This was an extremely interesting experience. We got to see the place where they made wine, the bakery where they made the unleavened bread, the room where they washed before worshiping, and the actual site of the worship. I went upstairs to the room where women were allowed to worship and wow! What a view! But it did feel very "separate" from the downstairs where the men worshiped. It was amazing to be walking in such an ancient place.

Interesting ancient Jewish Ghetto and Synagogue in Pitigliano. Series of rooms preserved from the original ghetto with well-presented explanations and surmounted by the synagogue. History and artefacts and Jewish calendar and customs are well-explained.

I was fascinated to read and to see all the things that had happened in that place - amazing and interesting for all people not only jews
