1Pitigliano, Tuscany

Nicknamed Little Jerusalem, the medieval hill town of Pitigliano was once home to a large Jewish community that settled there in the 16th century.

While most of Pitigliano’s Jews dispersed to other towns in Italy by the mid-20th century, you can still tour the old Jewish ghetto, which includes a restored synagogue, traditional bread ovens and a small museum.
