GR10 Jewish Museum of Pitigliano

You’ll take a voyage into the past, experiencing a bit of everyday life in the ancient Jewish community of Pitigliano, the roots of which wind back to the XVI Century. You’ll enter a labyrinth of evocative dens dug into the tuff: the ancient furnace that served the Community until 1939, where the unleavened azzimo bread was baked, the Kosher kitchen where the wine was produced, the butchery where animals were slaughtered according to kashrut and the ancient miqvè in which both men and women took ritual baths. In order to bring you closer to Hebrew culture, the museum was conceived as an educational itinerary: you’ll find images, objects and lots of subtitles explaining Jewish traditions and habits. In addition, you’ll be able to admire one of the five sinagogues of Tuscany, built in 1598 by Leon of Sabato.
