| Page Views: 119 Last Visit to Pitigliano: October, 2006 | Lovely hilltop town by BruceDunning - last update: Sep 5, 2008 |
The magnificent view is to remember for life. This is Italy in its splendor of keeping the tradition intact. It was formed into a castle fortress in 1200's. The town is laid out good and a gentle walk up the incline. The main activity is right at the bottom where you enter. |
| Living in the foothills-winding road. |
|  | VAlley View This is a fabulous view of the town built right out of the sheer cliff. The Etruscans started living in this area, and on this part of the rock cliffs, built into the side of the cliff. They also built tombs around the area. Eventually a town was built on top. |
| | Take a tour. This is a nice side trip into the Orsini caslte/palace and church. Views are good and the layout is good. It features Orsini splendid rooms, and archaeological museum, a church, and Diocesan art museum; all packed into the same space. |

Wonderful! Another one we researched and then were unable to fulfill our plans. Great Restaurant tip. Orsini Castello and the caves look great. |
