Private tour of Pitigliano and Etruscan cave routes
The imposing castle, which belonged first to the Aldobradeschi and then to the Orsini, dominates the village of Pitigliano which was built on the edge of a tufa cliff on the river Lente. A network of alleys that descend to overlook the valley, the extraordinary ancient Jewish quarter, the Ghetto (closed on Saturdays), the deep cellars dug under the streets, the Etruscan gate, the hidden corners of the Fratta district, welcome the visitor fascinated by the incredible beauty of the landscape of Pitigliano.
We will also visit the extraordinary vie cave dug by the Etruscans around Pitigliano, ancient sacred roads even 10 meters deep and we will try to discover the secret of their origin. These ancient roads, along which the Etruscan necropolis are found, were also used as refuges during the war
