For the occasion, a visit itinerary is proposed in Pitigliano, with a tourist guide, through the historic center with a final tasting of the sfratto, dessert of the Jewish tradition.

Works of art and works of genius

The panorama around Pitigliano is an unspoiled landscape, the cliff on which the village rests stands proud and silent. A land that is sometimes tame, sometimes hostile, a land inhabited by people who have left a mark, each sensing the need for a community and finding solutions. So here are farmers who tame the nature of small sparnette to obtain vegetable gardens; they dig caves in the bare rock, transforming them into cellars, tool sheds or shelters for the donkey, a faithful companion.

A land of engineers, who, defying the laws of nature, brought water by building a daring aqueduct as early as the sixteenth century and, in 1898, exploiting the same power of water, donated electricity.

A land of artists who draw inspiration from the landscape and transfigure it into verses, sculptures, paintings, create refuge for soul and heart.

Guided tour and cooking workshop

31 October at 3pm: sweet tortello, which is part of the 464 Traditional Agri-Food Products – which represent a sort of historical collection -, is a dish strongly linked to the tradition and history of the village, and recalls that of the savory tortello filled with ricotta, but bathed in alchermes, he finished Sunday lunches.
