Southern Tuscany is wilder and not as famous as its more northerly parts
But the hilltowns are better
Our base was Pitigliano
The first glimpse of the town is dramatic
It rises from the rock itself
We arrived on the Festa of Corpus Domini (18th June)
When the streets are decorated with flowers
Which are trampled on later by priests

There are ‘secret’ hilltowns all around
Like Sorano, a few kilometres down the road
And Montemerano, where they were celebrating Amore
We stayed in Casa dei Lavatoi (the old wash-house)

Beside the arches of the aqueduct in Pitigliano (recommended)


You have mountains on your doorstep

And free hot springs down the road

If you fancy them
This is
PITIGLIANO

How did I not know there is a festival called Amore? The towns look almost biblical sprung from the rocks. I’d love a book of this pictorium. As would others I’m sure.
