Synagogue

Pitigliano was hospitable and refuge for Jews from the end of 1400, where over the years, thanks to favorable conditions and good relations with the people of the Christian, there is established a thriving Jewish community. The indigenous culture is still enriched in various aspects of this centuries-old coexistence: from the gastronomic point of view, linguistic expressions and personal memoirs. Advancing Via Zuccarelli, you reach the Temple or the Synagogue built in 1598 (5358 according to the Jewish calendar) by the first Jews arrived in Pitigliano.  The bombing of the Second World War severely damaged the building until it collapsed in a partial collapse at the end of the 50s of the twentieth century. Recently renovated, it occasionally hosts functions and religious ceremonies and is a destination for many visitors from all over the world. Underlying the Jewish Temple you can visit the premises belonging to the old Ghetto, all dug into the tuff, within which were the main activities carried out that marked the daily life of the Jewish Community.
