PITIGLIANO - Maremma Majestic Hilltown

 
Perched majestically atop a stunning promontory, Pitigliano exudes ancient charm with its medieval volcanic stone buildings adorned by terracotta roofs, seemingly rising organically from the rocky cliffs. Crossing the bridge over the gorge, you'll be captivated by Pitigliano's allure, a town brimming with a rich heritage that fills the locals with immense pride. Traces of its prehistoric origins, ancient tombs, and caves along the city walls showcase the depth of its history.

With a name inherited from Roman colonization, Pitigliano, also known as Petilia Gens, is steeped in the legacies of the illustrious Aldobrandeschi, Orsini, and Medici families. Their influence is evident in the awe-inspiring architecture, from the formidable Palazzo Orsini that is now a museum, to the iconic Medici Aqueduct symbolizing the town's tenacity.

As you stroll through quaint squares and centuries-old medieval streets designed for carts rather than automobiles, you'll be transported back to an era of lords, dukes, and counts, reliving the very streets they once trod upon. Pitigliano beckons with its timeless charm, inviting you to delve into the past and embrace its captivating history.

Pitigliano takes pride in its superb dining establishments, offering delectable local delicacies that pair seamlessly with a glass of locally crafted wine. This combination provides a perfect and refreshing lunch break during your visit in Pitigliano.

From here you will join your personal driver for a short journey to your next destination: Sovana. 

SOVANA - Enchanting Jewel of Tuscany

Within the protective embrace of medieval walls, Sovana's captivating tale unfolds, immersing visitors in a world of mystery and grandeur. From its ancient roots dating back to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages to its transformation into the Roman colony Suana, the village resonates with a rich heritage that echoes through the ages. 

Stepping into Sovana is like stepping into the pages of an enchanting fairy tale set in the Middle Ages. Flourishing as a vital center during this era, Sovana held the seat of the local bishop and prospered under the rule of illustrious counts and lords. Enduring the trials of time, wars, and the challenges of malaria, Sovana remains an exceptional and alluring example of a medieval town.

A visit to Sovana is a journey into the very heart of history, where legends breathe life amid the charming beauty of a village steeped in timeless wonder.

Your unforgettable shore excursion through the mystical wonders of Pitigliano and Sovana draws to a close at 3:30 PM as you will bid adieu to these hidden gems of Tuscany’s Maremma region and reunite with your driver for a scenic drive back to your cruise ship in Civitavecchia.
